Power for stable computing
Power is critical to stable computing operation, which is why Scott Data Center has designed and implemented a robust and redundant solution to ensure maximum availability and survivability in the event of hardware or utility failure.
Power Delivery
Service to the property is accomplished via diverse utility feeds from the Omaha Public Power District. This delivery diversity is maintained down to the rack level giving the user two completely separate power feeds. Within each of those power feeds, the facility utilizes double conversion UPS units paralleled on each utility feed providing a 2N redundancy level. In the event of power disruption to the utility feeds, the facility utilizes its unique flywheel DC energy storage system to provide power. The flywheel system replaces traditional battery systems along with their maintenance needs and environmental hazards. The flywheel system provides energy while the buildings generator systems engage in the event power is not immediately restored.
Some features of our Power System include:
- The buildings generator plant is modular in design and capable of housing up to fifteen (15) 2250 kW medium voltage generators in a minimum N+1 configuration.
- All generators are physically housed within a storm protected structure and do not sit outside vulnerable to the element.
- Onsite Fuel storage is in multiple tanks with diverse paths to the generator to ensure availability and a minimum of 72 hours of fuel runtime is housed onsite for long term outages.
- Flywheel DC energy storage systems replace traditional battery systems simplifying maintenance and removing potential environmental hazards.
