Data center telecom redundancy

Application description

Data storage buildings and net centers are growing in the world of telecommunications.

Storage and protection of such datas raise the problem for high reliability and quality of power supply, which in most cases implies the need for state-of-the-art electrical installations guaranteeing maximum security.

To meet this demand CRE TECHNOLOGY has developed a combination of specific solutions, thanks to the flexibility of its high quality products and engineering application services.

The case presented here is an example of what is the most reliable in terms of power control redundancy. The application is intended for a series of Net Centers belonging to one of France's giants of military and private telecommunications.
The power plant consists of 2 x 2000kVA generators running in parallel with control redundancy and manual backup operation.

Each group is equipped with 2 GENSYS 2.0 modules for redundancy:

A first GENSYS 2.0 module in master control with watchdog.

A second GENSYS 2.0 module in permanent redundancy.

An additional backup system is also fitted to the cabinets for manual operation.

This application provides a guarantee of continued operation of generators even in case of complete loss of the principal control
module.

Control is automatically switched on the fly from the principal to the redundant module, instantly and without any break or impact on the power plant, regardless of the operating status of the generators. Control can later be switched back to the principal GENSYS 2.0 module, either automatically or after the intervention of an agent on site.
