DATA CENTER CRITICAL POWER ASSET MONITORING
In the fast-paced world of data centers and power-dependent facilities, where uninterrupted power is
the lifeblood of operations, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of electricity is paramount. As such,
maintaining an uninterrupted power supply is paramount. Any downtime can result in significant
financial losses. To prevent this, data centers must implement robust redundancy and power availability
measures. Let’s look at the network of power assets charged with maintaining data center uptime.
FRANKLIN ELECTRIC CRITICAL ASSET MONITORING
By leveraging the advanced monitoring solutions offered by Franklin Electric, data
center personnel can achieve the highest levels of reliability and efficiency. From
UPS systems and battery monitoring, to energy asset management, Franklin
Electric provides a holistic approach to power management, ensuring that data
centers remain operational, even in the face of unexpected power disruptions.
1. NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER (NOC)
The NOC monitors and manages the data center’s network and
infrastructure, including power supply systems. It provides oversight
and control, enabling quick response to any power-related issues.
NOC personnel provided with real-time power redundancy
monitoring data ensures they can promptly identify and address
power issues. Access to monitoring data allows them to proactively
manage and optimize power systems, enhancing the overall
reliability and efficiency of the data center.
2. DIESEL GENERATOR SYSTEMS
While diesel generators provide long-term backup power during
extended power outages, their batteries provide the initial power to
start the engine, supply power to control systems and electronics,
and ensure the generator’s readiness for immediate operation.
Generator batteries must be tested to ensure they can reliably start
the generator and power essential control systems when needed.
Compliance with standards such as the NFPA 110 mandates
regular testing and maintenance of these batteries to verify their
capacity, condition, and readiness.
3. DIESEL FUEL SYSTEMS
The fuel system stores and supplies diesel fuel to the generators.
It ensures that the generators have a sufficient and continuous
supply of fuel to operate during prolonged power outages.
Fuel level monitoring ensures there is sufficient fuel for
generator operation. Automatic fuel circulation maintains the
fuel’s condition by preventing sediment build-up and ensuring
even temperature distribution, which is essential for optimal
generator performance.
