Your Power Parameters live in two specific locations: In the Data Center Buildings Layer, and in the properties of each data center in the Data Center Library.
Data Center Buildings Power Parameters
- Electric Efficiency: usable MVA from site.
- Electrical Availability (MVA): Mega Volt Amps - Available to use on site.
- (MW) Power Per Bay: Available power generated by each bay
Building Library Power Consumption & Generation
Power Consumption
- Use Per-Hall Power: Toggle on to enable power per bay. Toggle off to enable floor density efficiency mode.
- (MW) Power Per Bay: Available power generated by each bay
- Design PUE: Power Usage Effectiveness.
- Floor Efficiency: Used in density mode (Gross building area x floor efficieny)
- Target Power Density (W/sqft): Used in density mode (IT Power = Area × Target Power Density ÷ 1,000,000 = Building Gross Area x Floor Efficiency x Target Power Density ÷ 1,000,000)
Power Generation
- Electrical Availability (MVA): Mega Volt Amps - Available to use on site.
- Electric Efficiency: usable MVA from site.
Data Center Tabulations & Formulas
Your Data Center BLDG/PWR information appears in the Tabulation tab of the data output panel and provides information about the buildings themselves and the power within
-
Area =
-
Density Mode = Building Gross Area x Floor Efficiency
- Per-bay Mode = Building Gross Area (Floor Efficiency not applied)
-
- IT Power =
-
Density Mode = Area × Target Power Density ÷ 1,000,000 = Building Gross Area x Floor Efficiency x Target Power Density ÷ 1,000,000
- Per-bay Mode = Bays x MW per Bay
-
- Non-IT Power = IT Power × max Design PUE
- Critical Power = IT Power + Non-IT Power
- Elec. Dist. = Electrical Availability x Electrical Efficiency
- Elec. Avail. = Pass or Fail. Pass if Electrical Distribution ≥ Critical Power. Otherwise fails
