Abstract :
The power quality (PQ) disturbances e.g. transient voltages, voltage distortion, voltage sags and swells, over voltages and under voltages, and voltage interruption are caused of critical electronic component failures, resets, short lifetimes and cascading failures to a whole data center system operation failures. The data center operation downtimes may costs a million dollar per hour. The extensive international standards, TIA-942, IEEE-493, IEEE-446, IEEE-1100, and IEC 620040-3, recommend through fault tolerant designs to protect against the single point of failure (SPoF) throughout data center power distribution systems (DC-PDS). A new generalized approach is given to illustrate a better model to protect a cleaning on power quality and SPoF. This research proposes a new model of the optimum availability and investment tradeoffs for data center conceptual design and spectrum investigation with risk assessment of DC-PDS.
