This white paper explores designing an efficient data center power system and factors that impact that efficiency, including power system configurations and how a data center is “grown” over time. In addition, the paper details different power system components and reviews measurement and control points for each. Timetables for implementation of the core tenets of this guide are provided for each component and are intended to serve as a quick reference for data center designers.
