This session addresses the changes taking place in the data center electrical distribution systems as a result of IT equipment changes. High density computer environments are major challenges to owners and operators. The solution to this problem can be very difficult since a very comprehensive engineering and business study will be required. Utilizing current readily available components , it is possible to install and operate a high reliability DC power distribution system for a DC powered sever environment. The application of high reliability DC power distribution system using flywheel is growing to serve the next generation IT servers for major data centers around the world. The most difficult task is how to lower the load density in today’s data center environment. For many existing data centers for large corporations, power and HVAC systems need to reconfigured to comply with new IT requirements. The papers provide guidelines to cost effective solutions while maintaining industry acceptable high level of power quality.
