ABSTRACT:
Effective standby generator system installations must address the known problems and challenges relating to current and past designs. This paper presents a categorized and prioritized overview of generator system challenges and the requirements needed to overcome them.
Standby power generation is a key component of a high availability power system for data centers andnetwork rooms. Information technology systems may operate for minutes or even a few hours on battery, but local power generation capability is key to achieving high availability. In locations with poor utility power,
local power generation may be needed to achieve even a minimal requirement of 99.9% availability.
