The Data Center consists of a four-story, 435,050 square foot building that will house computer servers in a secure and environmentally controlled structure and a three-story administrative building, containing support facilities such as the building lobby, restrooms, conference rooms, and office space. The load of the Data Center will be 80 MW.
Backup Generators
A total of 33 onsite diesel-fired Backup Generators will ensure reliability to the Data Center in the event of loss of power from SVP, the local publicly owned electric utility provider. The Backup Generators would only operate when there is an interruption of the electrical supply. In instances when there are degradations in power quality, but not a complete interruption of power, the Project’s Uninterruptible Power Supply system (consisting of batteries, switchgear, and inverters) would allow the Data Center to “ride through” the degradation and remain operable without triggering use of the Backup Generators. The Backup Generators will not be connected to the electric distribution system (also referred to as the “transmission grid” or “grid”) and, therefore, cannot feed power to it.
