Data centers rely on single-phase and three-phase power systems for distribution. Single-phase power, a simpler form of AC, suits smaller setups but is inefficient for large-scale centers. Three-phase power, standard for most data centers, offers higher efficiency and capacity.
The infrastructure of a data center is the fundamental pillar of its power system, comprised of several essential elements that are crucial for providing continuous and redundant electrical power.
No design guide can offer ‘the one correct way’ to design a data center, but the design guidelines offer efficient design suggestions that provide efficiency benefits in a wide variety of data center design situations. In some areas, promising technologies are also identified for possible future design consideration.
