New demand starts with infrastructure.
Data centre planning should bring MV UPS, critical power requirements and facility interfaces into the same early design discussion.
Bring the load into the brief.
The planned demand, growth stages and operating priorities establish the basis for power architecture. A staged project needs to explain both its initial requirements and the conditions for future expansion.
Treat the grid interface as a workstream.
Connection arrangements and available supply need to be established with the relevant network parties. Site equipment choices should remain connected to those discussions as the project develops.
Define the MV UPS duty early.
Set out which loads require power continuity and what support period, operating modes and maintenance arrangements the project needs. Coordinate the MV UPS solution with battery storage and backup supply before equipment selection.
Coordinate the facility around the power path.
Distribution, cooling, access and modular infrastructure share space and interfaces. Resolving those relationships early helps create a delivery scope that can be assessed and progressed.
Bring the next project into focus.
Start with the site, the demand and the delivery constraints. We can help frame the next decisions.
