The solution we provided comprised of a complete retro-fit of four standby diesel generators, a complete redesign of the switchgear operating philosophy and all associated control equipment on a fully operational, multibillion $/day data centre. Our solution was specified because it was a cost effective way of significantly increasing site power resilience and operator usability.
