Existing Building Conversions – Constraints & Opportunities (Presentation Outline)

At a time when limited capital availability has driven more owners to consider retrofitting existing buildings rather than building greenfield facilities, uncertainty about how to determine the best timing, technical approaches and lowest costs for data center upgrades fuels understandable wariness in the industry.

A key area of questioning in the early stages of a data center project focuses on the quality, availability and capacity of power at aging industrial sites. As the lifeblood of a data center, power must be considered a “sure thing” for owners considering retrofits. Yet in some cases, early overestimations of power availability and quality have come back to haunt owners once a retrofitted facility is up and running.

Other topics of principal importance to successful retrofits include scheduling and sustainability. Considerable savings can be realized by using accelerated scheduling strategies that minimize the time and related expense associated with developing a site, building a shell and working with the utility to engage a new substation. Regarding sustainability, everyone wants to embrace it, yet there’s much uncertainty about the best ways to do so.

This presentation will address these and other topics central to successful retrofits by analyzing a sequence of different data center retrofit scenarios, including a warehouse, office building and semiconductor plant. Each of these analytical scenarios will be based on real world case histories derived from recent data center projects, and each scenario will be conveyed using dynamic still and video graphics. A highlight of this approach will be illustrating successful approaches to make the most of a retrofit’s inherent advantages for accumulating a lot of points for those projects seeking LEED® certification.

The presentation will include discussion of how rapid prototyping design methods were used to achieve successful results in each case history. The presenters will demonstrate how rapid prototyping design approaches enabled concepts to be quickly developed, instantly reviewed and continuously refined in response to ongoing extemporaneous critiques, and the constraints presented by the existing building.

The credibility of the team addressing these issues is solidified by the architects and engineers’ direct experience in multiple data center retrofit projects. Adding to the breadth of the presentation is the inclusion of the all-important owner’s perspective, which will be represented by a data center owner who performed a major data center retrofit project incorporating a number of energy-reducing design features. An additional option, if desired by 7x24, would be to include the perspectives of multiple owners via a panel discussion that we could arrange which would explore the challenges and follow-on solutions particular to different types of data center facilities.

The case history selected for this presentation offers an excellent opportunity to evaluate modular data center design strategies, which were integrated into the case history retrofit project. The presentation will describe how this project was able to offer up to 18MW of power in a flexible variety of suite and custom data center configurations customizable from 1,000 to 50,000 square feet.

The structure of this presentation will be complementary to the 7x24 Exchange theme of “Thought Leadership” in multiple ways, including its inclusion of advanced “rapid prototyping” methods and its evaluation of individual building systems as well as broader building design strategies. Attendees will experience how competing approaches for such critical building components as cooling, air handling and controls systems can be reliably analyzed to determine their comparative performance and cost-efficiency. It is our goal that the analytical techniques presented in these comparisons will be regarded as a valuable “takeaway” which attendees will be able to apply to their own data center scenarios.

Most importantly, participants will receive data-substantiated conclusions about “best case” data center design scenarios based on actual results from the case history projects. These conclusions are intended to have enduring value since participants will be able to apply findings offered at 7x24 Exchange to their own facilities following the conference.

California Independent Systems Operator, Folsom, CA New Mission Critical Headquarters

California Independent Systems Operator (California ISO) partnered with Clark Design Build to deliver California ISO’s Mission Critical Data Center and Headquarters. This interactive forum presented by Clark, California ISO and WSP/Flack & Kurtz shares lessons learned and discusses questions on the challenges and rewards of the $113 Million early delivery of the USGBC LEED Platinum award winning facility. Project Overview California ISO’s new 278,000 square-foot headquarters in Folsom, is comprised of three distinct wings each created with a different structural system. The building’s two-story public wing features glass and metal panels wrapped around a structural steel frame. This wing houses a main lobby, as well as training rooms, a cafeteria, and support facilities. The mission critical wing supports California ISO’s essential services, including a 60,000sf data center, mechanical and electrical utility services. This wing has a structural steel frame wrapped in precast concrete. The three-story office wing was created for the organization’s more than 500 employees. The open office environment is surrounded by exposed structural precast concrete with a glass and metal façade. Presentation Focus The discussion will include the design-build delivery aspects that resulted in the successful early completion of the California ISO Iron Point Facility. The focus of the presentation will be on the team structure and relationships along with innovative techniques employed to deliver this critical facility that exceeded the Owner’s expectations. Keys to Success

1) California ISO is a nonprofitpublicbenefit corporation that operates the state’s wholesale transmission grid, providing open and non-discriminatory access supported by a competitive energy market and comprehensive planning efforts. To fulfill its mission, the organization required a headquarters with a combination of office areas, public space, and a critical data center.

2) Early completion of construction of the California Independent System Operator

Corporation (California ISO) Iron Point New Facility was completed three months ahead of schedule and under budget. Site clearing for the $113 million Design Build project began in April 2009 and substantial completion was reached in December 2010. With over 420,000 man-hours worked, the project did not have a single lost-time incident and had a recordable incident rate of just 1.90.

3) Integrated Project Delivery Accelerates Schedule: The design team included companies

based in San Francisco, Oakland, and Sacramento. To foster collaboration and integrate efforts, the team co-located at the architect’s office during the planning phase.

4) Data Center/Control Center/Central Utility Plant: The design incorporated redundant

systems for the Tier 3+ Data Center. The design incorporated compartmentalized HVAC and Electrical Systems to insure Mission Critical Operation independence. Full metering and monitoring incorporated into all equipment to monitor efficiency.

5) Security: From cutting edge incorporation of perimeter security to the building system wide secured design to eliminate public access to mission critical and limited levels of security access for over 500 employees. Building system includes optical turnstiles, retinal scans, 100% badging of all occupants, and a custom operating system.

6) Fulfilling The Owner’s Sustainable Goals: Though originally planned to achieve LEED®

Gold certification, California ISO’s new headquarters is expected to earn Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. In addition to the project’s existing sustainable elements, including an underfloor air distribution system and greywater irrigation system, the project team and construction manager installed several other amenities to enhance the project’s sustainability. Features added in the final eight months of construction include photovoltaic solar panels, a reflective coating on asphalt parking surfaces, an energy system modified to be more efficient. In addition to LEED certification, the project has an Energy Star rating over 80.

Managing “Chaos” Hoping for the Best, While Planning for the Worst

No need to tell “mission critical” experts that we live in a complex world where preventing the (inevitable) “unthinkable” is a daily part of our lives. However, how we chose to lead your teams through this adverse consequence environment could mean the difference between uptime success or downtime failure. We all hope for the best in everything we do but what separates us from our competition is how we plan for the worst. In this session we will look at an analytical approach identifying potential problems. What could possibly go wrong? Is there a catastrophic scenario that could disrupt our A/B redundant operation? Once we identify these potential problems we next determine ways to prevent them through a series of actions. We simply evaluate what could prevent the problem from occurring. Since we know that we can’t prevent all problems we also have to identify contingent actions. If we can’t prevent it from occurring how do we minimize the impact of that problem? We also examine the probability and impact of the problems to help us prioritize the utilization of our resources. By “weighting” the risk we approach this potential from the top down. This educational and entertaining session combines a good balance between lecture and group exercises. We use the case study of a data center as example of the process in action, brining relevance and functionality for the audience. Robert Jacques Director of Strategic Accounts

1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction to Tier Performance Levels 3. Review of Existing, Lead Acid-based Sizing Formula and Rationale

a. Sizing is based on run time, expected degradation, server growth, and other factors b. Impossible to have capacity redundancy within a battery string because of voltage addition,

so there are multiple redundant strings c. Discuss common lead-acid failure modes involving mixing of old and new batteries etc.

which force this highly redundant architecture to achieve high availability 4. Outline Sizing Formula and Rationale for Parallel Batteries

a. Example of a system of high-voltage modules connected in parallel; discussion of how the system meets capacity redundancy requirements of Tier III and Tier IV

b. Explanation of how parallel systems, especially sodium battery systems, allow maintenance flexibility over battery life; batteries can be swapped and old batteries run alongside new.

c. Show how flexibility of the parallel system eliminates oversizing of traditional series-connected lead-acid cells

d. Show how inherent redundancy of the parallel system enables Tier III and Tier IV performance with fewer battery banks

5. Customer Case Study a. For an example enterprise data center using series-connected lead-acid cell show actual

battery installation size which is much larger than the load: this includes oversizing, redundant banks, and additional batteries kept as ‘floating’ spares

b. Show how the same data center could be outfitted with parallel banks at reduced size c. Discussion of future capability of the example data center with parallel-connected banks;

how it can grow with server load and tolerate normal performance degradation over its lifetime

Title: Datacenter Power Savings through High Ambient Datacenter Operation: CFD Modeling Study Nishi Ahuja 1

Senior Data Center Architect Cloud Division Datacenter Group, Intel Corporation

Abstract

In a typical datacenter, almost 40% of the total power consumption is spent on datacenter cooling. In addition, the capital expenditure costs for the cooling infrastructure are also significant. Large Internet Portal Datacenters are looking at every possible way to reduce the cooling cost. One of the emerging trends in the industry is to move to higher ambient datacenter operation. Some Data Center operators are even wanting to operate the datacenters at ambient as high as 40C. It is shown that both server power increase and facility level cooling power savings must be considered to determine net power savings at the datacenter level. CFD modeling is used to demonstrate that following best practices in airflow management: using blanking panels, floor layout, eliminating cable obstructions, hot/cold aisle containment and bypass and re-circulation reduction are first important steps to get ready for high ambient datacenter operation. It is shown that without these practices, there is large variation in inlet air temperature from one server to other creating hotspots forcing thermostats on CRAC units to be set low. It is shown that CFD modeling can be used to quantify how cooling path management improves with hot/cold aisle containment. The study shows that significant datacenter level power savings can be achieved by operating the datacenter up to 35C with the use of Economizers..

• Optimizing temperature, power, and performance

benefits customers and reduces overall capital and operating expenditures.

• Increase in server power is offset by significant savings at the data center level.

• Testing results indicate no performance degradation at higher temperatures

Figure 2: Server Power increases with increase in ambient temperature

Trade-offs between Facility Power and Server Power must be understood to embrace High Ambient DC Operation

Figure 3: Challenges going to High ambient operations in

DC • Inefficiency in cooling path management • CRAC Unit supply temperature ≠ Server Inlet

Temperature • Server inlet temperature not uniform throughout the

datacenter

2. Data Center Cooling Path

Airflow / cooling path in the Data Center need to be understood to embrace High Ambient DC Operation

Figure 4: Data Center Cooling Path

"bypass air“ and "recirculation“. Both of these conditions may lead to data center hot spots and the need for lower temperature set points

Adopting Data Center Best Practices is first step towards

High Ambient Temperatures.

3. Hot and Cold Aisle containment is important step to move to High temperature data center operation

Figure 5: Containment vs. Non Containment.

• Containment results in uniform server inlet

temperature throughout Data Center • Highest temperature seen at the server inlet reduces

with containment • Containment facilitates the use of ACU supply

temperature set points

4. Results This section covers the Case Study results

• Hot and Cold Aisle containment is important step to move to high temperature data center operation

o Containment results in uniform server inlet temperature throughout Data Center

o Containment facilitates the use of ACU supply temperature set points

• Effectiveness o Equipment effectiveness metrics improve

with containment, it gets close to 100% o ACU effectiveness metrics did not get close

to 100% since ACUs provide more airflow that what is required by the IT equipment.

o By aggregating server flow and tuning ACU to provide the needed airflow will improve the ACU effectiveness.

• Potential Saving due to Chilled water temperature increase

o Baseline chilled water plant power at 21C is 541.5KW

o Chilled water plant power at 27C is 483.9KW; i.e there is 10.6% power reduction between 21 C and 27C without containment

o Chilled water plant power at 27C with containment is 475.3KW; i.e. there is 12.2% power reduction between 21C and 27C containment

• Potential Saving due to High Temperature Datacenter operation

o Baseline datacenter power = (IT load + Chiller Power + PDU losses + CRAC + UPS) = 2416KW

o % power saving between 21C and 27 C is 2.39 and between 21C and 27 C with containment is 2.74

• Potential Saving when datacenter ambient is raised to achieve Tsys = 35C

o With baseline of 21C set at ACU return side, datacenter level power savings with 35C server inlet are 5.8% without containment and 8.3% with containment.

o With air side economizer, the chilled water plant can be eliminated, resulting in 22% datacenter level power savings.

• Potential Saving due to variable speed CRAC o CRAC fans are over provisioned and

provide more airflow than what is needed by the IT equipment.

o Variable speed CRAC units provide additional savings (estimated to be ~67% of chilled water plant savings).

It is shown that without these practices, there is large variation in inlet air temperature from one server to other creating hotspots forcing thermostats on CRAC units to be set low. It is shown that CFD modeling can be used to quantify how cooling path management improves with hot/cold aisle containment. The study shows that significant datacenter level power savings can be achieved by operating the datacenter up to 35C with the use of Economizers..

Figure 2: Server Power increases with increase in ambient temperature

Trade-offs between Facility Power and Server Power must be understood to embrace High Ambient DC Operation

Figure 3: Challenges going to High ambient operations in

DC • Inefficiency in cooling path management • CRAC Unit supply temperature ≠ Server Inlet

Temperature • Server inlet temperature not uniform throughout the

datacenter

2. Data Center Cooling Path

Airflow / cooling path in the Data Center need to be understood to embrace High Ambient DC Operation

Figure 4: Data Center Cooling Path

"bypass air“ and "recirculation“. Both of these conditions may lead to data center hot spots and the need for lower temperature set points

Adopting Data Center Best Practices is first step towards

High Ambient Temperatures.

3. Hot and Cold Aisle containment is important step to move to High temperature data center operation

Figure 5: Containment vs. Non Containment.

• Containment results in uniform server inlet

temperature throughout Data Center • Highest temperature seen at the server inlet reduces

with containment • Containment facilitates the use of ACU supply

temperature set points

4. Results This section covers the Case Study results

• Hot and Cold Aisle containment is important step to move to high temperature data center operation

o Containment results in uniform server inlet temperature throughout Data Center

o Containment facilitates the use of ACU supply temperature set points

• Effectiveness o Equipment effectiveness metrics improve

with containment, it gets close to 100% o ACU effectiveness metrics did not get close

to 100% since ACUs provide more airflow that what is required by the IT equipment.

o By aggregating server flow and tuning ACU to provide the needed airflow will improve the ACU effectiveness.

• Potential Saving due to Chilled water temperature increase

o Baseline chilled water plant power at 21C is 541.5KW

o Chilled water plant power at 27C is 483.9KW; i.e there is 10.6% power reduction between 21 C and 27C without containment

o Chilled water plant power at 27C with containment is 475.3KW; i.e. there is 12.2% power reduction between 21C and 27C containment

• Potential Saving due to High Temperature Datacenter operation

o Baseline datacenter power = (IT load + Chiller Power + PDU losses + CRAC + UPS) = 2416KW

o % power saving between 21C and 27 C is 2.39 and between 21C and 27 C with containment is 2.74

• Potential Saving when datacenter ambient is raised to achieve Tsys = 35C

o With baseline of 21C set at ACU return side, datacenter level power savings with 35C server inlet are 5.8% without containment and 8.3% with containment.

o With air side economizer, the chilled water plant can be eliminated, resulting in 22% datacenter level power savings.

• Potential Saving due to variable speed CRAC o CRAC fans are over provisioned and

provide more airflow than what is needed by the IT equipment.

o Variable speed CRAC units provide additional savings (estimated to be ~67% of chilled water plant savings).

The Threat of Cyber Attacks on Data Center SCADA Systems

Presented by: Eric Gallant, Director, Strategic Accounts, LeeTechnologies

The fundamental purpose of electrical distribution equipment is to safely

distribute electricity in a facility. In our data center environments

today, we integrate electrical distribution equipment with many other systems

to the point where the distribution equipment also serves as

critical controls equipment. The Circuit breaker is no longer just a

protective device, but also serves as a control device and a data acquisition

device. This presentation seeks to make the attendee aware of the hazards

associated with working in the vicinity of electrical distribution equipment,

and to introduce specifiable solutions that can improve electrical safety.

How we behave, while working around electrical distribution equipment,

is key to assuring uptime and personal safety. Still, there are

features that the engineer can specify that can improve electrical

safety in the data center. This presentation will review the various

active and passive features that the engineer can specify for electrical

distribution equipment like, medium voltage switchgear, low voltage

switchgear and switchboards, busway, panels, transformers and metering

equipment. All of the options and design standards are vendor neutral,

and can be implemented by any of the distribution equipment

manufacturers.

Let s review some of the safety concerns associated with electrical

distribution equipment:

Line to ground fault

Line to line fault

High impedance fault (Arc Flash)

Under normal conditions, the protective device will clear the fault

without causing any damage to itself, the enclosure, or downstream

conductors and equipment. Under some conditions, a fault can result in

equipment damage, down time, and / or personal injury. In this

presentation, we will review active and passive arc flash protection

options, including:

Alternative Maintenance Setting Switch

Zone Interlocking

IR Windows

Hinged Trims

Arc Res. Gear

Control devices mounted on switchgear

Control devices mounted remote to switchgear

Remote Racking Devices

We will further review safety improving design options such as remote

operation kiosks; safety focused metering equipment designs, SPD

mounting locations, and enclosure options. We will also provide a short

review of available fault current, and how this key variable affects

electrical safety.

PC Recycler 7X24 Exchange Call for Speaker Submission Outline of Presentation: Attach 1-2 pages including major topics covered, who will cover, how, etc. Protect and Defend Your Data Storage Devices 1. Introduction - The Information Age-- data is hard to control

1.1. We live in an amazing time in history right now, never in the history of the world have so many people had access to so much information

1.2. Never has so much information been able to be stored in such a small space 1.3. With increased data concentration comes increased data center risk during a

breach 1.4. Average cost per breach event came to $7.2 million, or $214 per record breached 1.5. Included in costs are notification requirements (certain government regulations

require that you contact each customer whose information was breached), legal/defense costs, and the cost of losing customers.

1.6. 100 GB of data is equal to a Library Floor of Academic Journals-- today you can buy 500 GB of storage for $150 - One drive can have thousands, sometimes millions of records – when added up you can see how costly a breach can be.

1.7. Specific Breach info can be cited.

2. Current Challenges that Data Center Operators are Facing 2.1 Increase in data breaches, cyber crime (internal vs. external, malicious vs.

negligent) and attacks to be expected in 2012 2.2 Maintaining data security budgets without losing uptime and reliability 2.3 Maximizing limited data security labor and resources

3. Internal and External Solutions for Protecting and Defending your Data 3.1 Outsourcing – What to know when selecting a vendor 3.1.1 Pros of Outsourcing - Efficiency - Cost - Focus - 3rd Party Auditing 3.1.2 Cons of Outsourcing 3.2 In House Considerations 3.2.1 Pros of In House Data Handling and Destruction - Control - Scheduling 3.2.2. Cons of In House Data Handling and Destruction - Training Employees - Equipment and maintenance - Resource allocation – employees and management

High resistance grounding (HRG) has gained much exposure in recent years due to its ability to virtually eliminate arcing faults in certain situations. This leads to greater electrical system reliability, and limited risk for equipment damage and personal injury. However, proper implementation of HRG requires more than adding it to the one line as it can impact network protections schemes and equipment choices. This presentation will look at the benefits and limitations of HRG, implementation considerations and proper coordination with other common equipment in data center electrical distribution networks.

Through a PowerPoint or similar presentation, I will go through the basics of implementing high resistance grounding on both grounded and ungrounded systems. This will include the benefits, as well as limitations. While HRG can be beneficial, it also requires changes in relaying and maintenance practices that should be made evident.

The presentation will investigate where in the distribution network HRG can be used, and where it is most practical. We will separately look at incoming utility feeds and generator feeds, whether back-up of primary. Additionally, the possibility of multiple sources will be looked at and possible protection options offered. Lastly, the basics of specifying transformers and generators to be sued with HRG will be discussed.

Using HRG has an impact on other electrical equipment in the network. As such, they must also be designed before ordering with HRG being designated as the grounding method. This includes, but is not limited, surge suppression devices, transfer switches, lighting and heating circuits and uninterruptible power supplies. If correctly specified in the beginning, the reliability of the entire can be greatly increased which is one of the reasons to use HRG. If ignored, unforeseen equipment damage and downturn can cut into the profitability of your project. We will look at the key points to remember for various key components of a data center power system and explain their impact on and high resistance grounded network.

The presentation is based on both electrical theory and real world experience. Post Glover has done many installations at data centers, and has learned many lessons from working with site engineers and coordination with equipment manufacturers.

Continuous Operations – The Long-Term Challenge

ABSTRACT:

The presentation discusses the Facilities Management (FM) and O&M best practices that result in sustained continuous operations over the life of a critical facility. It promotes integrating FM/O&M considerations and requirements into facility programming, design, construction, and commissioning to realize opportunities for synergy in delivering both the physical facility and the requisite FM programs and processes and trained staff. This approach ensures FM/O&M aspects are fully deployed on Day-1, facilitates a smooth transition from construction to critical operations, and includes continuous process improvement strategies to allow the FM to evolve in concert with the facility and its mission.

SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY:

Terry L. Rodgers is Vice President - Sustainable Operations Services for Primary Integration Solutions. He is a voting member of ASHRAE TC9.9, SPC-127, and GPC-1.2. He has 30+ years working in Critical Facilities including commercial nuclear power, aerospace, the financial sector, and now as a consultant. He previously held a Senior Reactor Operator certification for GE Nuclear Reactors, is a Certified Plant Engineer, and is an ASHRAE certified Commissioning Process Management Professional.


OUTLINE:

Introduction –What it Takes to Deliver Continuous Operations Over the Life of a Critical Facility

Why we speak of the “nines” (99.9%, 99.99%, 99.999%, etc.)

A three part answer: Do Everything, Do Everything Right, Do Everything Right Every Time

So What is “Everything” – Start with Categories (we only have 45 minutes after all)

Programming, Design, Construction & Commissioning, Long-Term Operations

Infrastructure, Staff, (and the glue that binds the two) Management

Facilities, Critical Facilities, and IT

Operations, Maintenance, and Efficiency

Programming – “Begin With the End in Mind”

Include FM/O&M aspects and considerations along with the programming of the physical facility

Three main reasons / justifications:

FM/O&M functions need to be fully deployed on “Day-1”

Many decisions & strategies regarding FM/O&M can influence the physical design

Opportunities for synergies in developing FM/O&M during design & construction

Optimizing the “Programming” process (reference ASHRAE Guideline 0-2005 and the OPR)

Design& Construction

Address FM/O&M in parallel and concurrently with the physical facility

Integrate FM/O&M aspects (to the extent appropriate) in the BOD and CDs

Basis-of-Design (BOD) discussion (refining the requirements)

Construction Documents discussion (specifying the deliverables)

Designing the FM/O&M organization

Developing & delivering the FM/O&M organization

Commissioning the physical facility and FM/O&M – An Expanded role for the CxA

Staffing – Mistakes can Result in Headaches & Problems for Years to Come

What O&M Staff needs:


Skills and qualifications

Discipline and structured processes

Site specific Performance-Based Training Program(s)

Accurate and comprehensive information

Management – The Tools & Processes Managers need to Manage

Monitor reality – Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Compare reality to expectations – “Inspect What You Expect”

Steer the course – Continuous Process Improvement

Creating a “Culture of Excellence”

Addressing “non-compliance” or other negative performance

Commissioning, the role of the Commissioning Agent, and Synergies

Not all Commissioning Agents are alike – Use the right CxA for the right Cx Scope

The “traditional” Cx scope already supports developing FM/O&M deliverables

Verifying & documenting the infrastructure

Validating sequence-of-operations (test scripts are pre-cursors to operating procedures)

Ensuring O&M Staff receive training

Sustaining Continuous Operations For The Next 25 Years!

Transitioning from Construction to Critical Operations

Data Centers are dynamic ( refreshes, load growth, upgrades & expansions, etc.)

FM/O&M must evolve in concert with the facility

“Inspect What You Expect” – the real risk lies in NOT testing (inspecting, auditing, etc.)

Energy & Efficiency: the perceived conflict with reliability is a myth

IT and Facilities – the day of “Silos” has passed

IT and Facilities infrastructure are “close-coupled”

So IT and FM must be “close-coupled” as well

Summary & Conclusions – It’s Not Easy, But It Is Doable

The fundamental purpose of electrical distribution equipment is to safely distribute electricity in a facility. In our data center environments today, we integrate electrical distribution equipment with many other systems to the point where the distribution equipment also serves as critical controls equipment. The Circuit breaker is no longer just a protective device, but also serves as a control device and a data acquisition device. This presentation seeks to make the attendee aware of the hazards associated with working in the vicinity of electrical distribution equipment, and to introduce specifiable solutions that can improve electrical safety. How we behave, while working around electrical distribution equipment, is key to assuring uptime and personal safety. Still, there are features that the engineer can specify that can improve electrical safety in the data center. This presentation will review the various active and passive features that the engineer can specify for electrical distribution equipment like, medium voltage switchgear, low voltage switchgear and switchboards, busway, panels, transformers and metering equipment. All of the options and design standards are vendor neutral, and can be implemented by any of the distribution equipment manufacturers. Let’s review some of the safety concerns associated with electrical distribution equipment:

• Line to ground fault • Line to line fault • High impedance fault (Arc Flash)

Under normal conditions, the protective device will clear the fault without causing any damage to itself, the enclosure, or downstream conductors and equipment. Under some conditions, a fault can result in equipment damage, down time, and / or personal injury. In this presentation, we will review active and passive arc flash protection options, including:

• Alternative Maintenance Setting Switch • Zone Interlocking • IR Windows • Hinged Trims • Arc Res. Gear • Control devices mounted on switchgear • Control devices mounted remote to switchgear • Remote Racking Devices

We will further review safety improving design options such as remote operation kiosks; safety focused metering equipment designs, SPD mounting locations, and enclosure options. We will also provide a short review of available fault current, and how this key variable affects electrical safety.

Advancing your data center: considerations and strategies to move from monolithic to modern Presented by: Moderator: Kevin Brown, Vice President, Global Data Center Offer, Schneider Electric Panelists: David Gentry, Executive Vice President, Lee Technologies Domenic Alcaro, Vice President, Mission Critical Services and Software, Schneider Electric Joe Capes, Director, Business Development, Cooling Solutions, Schneider Electric Abstract: Data centers are facing increasing pressure to operate efficiently in the face of rising energy prices, even as they strive to meet fast-growing demand for their services. Market forces are increasingly driving a shift to high-density, automated, flexible and modular data centers. This session will be a panel discussion centered around the current state of power and management demands in data centers, best practices for reducing energy costs and consumption, as well as opportunities and challenges. Additionally, Kevin and panelists will explore four topics data centers must address to compete in the new landscape: standardization of systems, efficient and proactive operations, control/management software, and efficient cooling.

Benchmark the Relative Performance of Your Data Center Presented by: John Tuccillo, Vice President, Global Industry and Government Alliances, Schneider Electric (See attached file: John Tuccillo_2011.zip) Abstract: You can't know where you are going without understanding where you are. Leveraging guidelines from the leading sources of data center standards today, including the Green Grid's Data Center Maturity Model, US Department of Energy, US EPA Energy Star Rating, and the EU Code of Conduct, this session will educate attendees on how to utilize these new benchmarking tools for best-in-class data center energy efficiency and sustainability performance. This session will stimulate data center managers to make improvements to efficiency performance without hampering their mission critical priorities. Learning Objectives: * Determine which standards and benchmarking tools is most appropriate to your needs * How to conduct your own self-assessment or cherry pick methods to work with a third party assessor. * Where to go for more information and assistance 3 Possible Ways to save Money * Reducing data center energy costs * Improving data center strategic planning and resource management * Quantify reasonable return on investment for efficiency upgrades in terms which would be appropriate for the c-suite.

Modular Air Economizer Trends Uniquely Designed for IT Environments Presented By: Kevin Dunlap, Product Management - Cooling, Schneider Electric Kevin Dunlap Abstract: Power limitations and conservation efforts have resulted in data centers balancing between Infrastructure and IT power consumption while overall rack power densities continue to increase. Recent changes to data center temperature and humidity guidelines have opened the door for the use of alternative cooling methods that were previously only viable for a few geographic locations. These changes allow a significant portion of the world to take advantage of some form of economization to cool the data center by leveraging outdoor ambient temperatures for heat rejection. With these changes in data center operating ranges, industry standards bodies have revised standards requiring economizers in certain geographic locations and minimum energy efficiency in the cooling system. Come learn how a standardized design for air side economization will lower your capital investment and energy consumption without sacrificing performance or availability.

When we started Steel ORCA it was our intention of being the “Greenest Data Center on Earth” and as a data center/services start-up company we were in the envious position of being unconstrained by established corporate policies, legacy designs or outdated facilities. With a completely blank slate, for two years looked at virtually every advanced design, concept and product that showed promise of delivering real energy efficiency with an reasonable economic return. Along the way we found numerous solutions and were constantly challenged by new ideas/products in the development pipeline that outperformed the latest advanced products in the marketplace. It quickly became apparent if we were to claim title to the “Greenest” then we would need to look towards advanced technologies designed to support the next generations of technology as well as capable of sustaining the legacy technology today. This presentation will take the audience thru the opportunities we had and how we arrived at the solutions we are now putting into effect: We will cover:

• Description of the facility size and objectives • The extensive research we did on products and processes • Cooling – advanced MEP designs and site specific assets • Electrical – Service entrance thru to the rack • Resolving to deliver multiple rack voltage with 380vdc as a backbone

The audience will leave with a greater understanding of of the technological advances at play in the market today. This is Leading edge not Bleeding edge!

Veolia Energy is leading operator and developer of energy-efficient solutions, with an array of services designed to control customers’ costs, reduce their consumption of energy and fossil fuels, and reduce their carbon footprints.

The presentation will focus on: “Combined Heating, Cooling & Power Opportunities for Data Centers,” breaking it down into categories and using case studies, reports, best practices, graphs and images for further demonstration.

Outline:

Introduction: Background on Scott Yappen and Veolia Energy.

Reliability: the Growing Risk of Power Outages: When data center managers think about energy, they begin by thinking of one issue—reliability. Currently, most data centers rely on the utility electric grid to power their IT, cooling and other loads. Many data centers have a second, redundant feed from the local utility, which often requires a time consuming and expensive struggle to secure and it comes with a variety of expensive upfront costs and back-end tariffs. Data centers also invest significantly in redundant, back-up emergency power systems, which managers hope they will never have to actually use, but often do to safeguard against actual or potential utility outages.

Energy efficient technologies such as power and cooling management systems and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) have been widely adopted to effectively minimize energy consumption. In addition, data center managers are realizing that there is a great opportunity to improve their electrical and thermal energy supply efficiency. The cost for energy to support modern IT platforms is growing, and it is clear that current energy saving measures might not be sufficient in the future. Thus, many data centers are considering the benefits of building on-site power plants such as combined heat, cooling and power (CHCP), or cogeneration.

Clean Energy Alternative: Endorsed by both the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), CHCP produces both power and thermal energy (which can be used for heating and cooling) simultaneously. According to the Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) certification program, CHCP’s increased efficiency, especially in relation to cooling, has a very positive impact on Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). This is a key indicator for modern data centers. DOE is partnering with industry to develop the DCEP program to accelerate energy savings in the dynamic and energy-intensive marketplace of data centers.

On average, conventional utility power generators (primarily a mix of nuclear and fossil fueled generators) deliver electricity to an end-user such as a data center with 30-40 percent efficiency. As a result, this means that 60-70 percent of fuel’s energy input at utility generators is wasted. In contrast, by producing power and thermal energy concurrently, CHCP typically converts about 65-85 percent of energy from fuel (typically natural gas, but can be others such as bio-fuels) to useful electrical and thermal energy.

Technology: Once a CHCP system is in place, it can dramatically improve energy reliability and efficiency for data centers by providing continuous on-site power and HVAC. Back-up power can be delivered

from the grid and on-site emergency power, and backup cooling from electric chillers. There are several technologies that work in tandem with CHCP that can maximize the investment made into this on-site power resource.

The concurrence of power and thermal loads, combined with a CHCP system’s capability to provide an appropriate amount of cooling relative to power generated, makes CHCP the most energy efficient method of providing utilities to a data center.

Benefits: CHCP systems can be beneficial for data centers in many ways. CHCP improves reliability by having on-site generation serving as a primary source of energy. When CHCP is part of a facility’s energy infrastructure, the risks associated with brownouts, blackouts, or damage to the poles and wires of the local utility’s electric grid are mitigated.

Economic savings are another important benefit of CHCP. Because CHCP can substitute for a traditional utility electric supply, a great deal of energy cost can be avoided. Properly designed CHCP systems are capable of delivering a combination of power and cooling at a discounted price to traditional supplies. CHCP enables additional economic savings by lower upfront costs of design and construction. The need for a redundant utility electric feed can be removed and replaced by CHCP.

Environmental benefits related to CHCP, and the energy efficiency gains associated with it, can support carbon reductions and other sustainability initiatives, which are becoming a core managerial focus for many data centers. CHCP is a “green” energy initiative that data centers can implement as a complement to their core business. In the same way that it reduces fuel costs, CHCP reduces pollution by using the fuel’s energy twice, yielding half to a third of the emissions from separate applications. Since CHCP is typically 65-85 percent efficient, and it can operate continuously for more than 8,000 hours each year, it can provide the best route to reducing total carbon for a facility.

Additionally, the equipment diversity of CHCP enables a facility to have multiple types of power, heating and cooling, and can be designed for input of multiple sources of energy. This provides a greater flexibility, market responsiveness, and it mitigates loss of utility downtime due to various conditions that can occur such as hurricanes, snow and ice storms, etc.

Incentives: Within the new federal and state regulatory and energy market frameworks, a solution such as CHCP becomes a very savvy choice, as it can also result in significant incentives. Many states have energy portfolio standards in place, or other mechanisms that provide incentives for CHCP. There is also a federal 10 percent federal investment tax credit in place that will help defray upfront investments in CHCP. In addition, several utilities have implemented energy efficiency and carbon abatement programs that promote CHCP.

With the prospect of future carbon regulation—regardless of whether it turns out to be a cap-and-trade system or a carbon tax—CHCP’s efficiency gains can lower regulatory risks when compared to traditional power generation. Furthermore, if renewable fuel sources are utilized, there is the potential for creating marketable credits and an additional revenue stream. These addedrevenues can further enhance a positive return on investment in CHCP.

Summary : CHCP offers data centers a versatile solution to address concerns such as rising energy costs, fears of inadequate energy supplies, reducing environmental pollution, and optimizing PUE. CHCP produces electricity and cooling from waste heat, and is twice as efficient as the energy from traditional utilities. Companies that rely on CHCP achieve a return on investment through reduced energy-related costs and enhanced economic competitiveness. With CHCP, data centers can rest assured that they have made a smart choice to reliably deliver energy and protect against long-term outages.
