TM 5-698-5 Survey of Reliability and Availability Information for Power Distribution, Power Generation, and Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Components for Commercial, Industrial, and Utility Installations (22 July 2006)

When modelling the power and cooling chain use these values as starting failure rates and MTBF/MTTR inputs and convert them into availability with the method of TM 5-698-1.

Diesel engine generators overall: 0.528 failures/yr, MTBF about 16,590 h, MTTR 24.22 h, operational availability 0.99399.

Totally Integrated Power - Application Models for Power Distribution: Data Centres

Use the tier factors as defaults in the early-stage area estimator: grey space = white space x factor.

Critical (ICT) to infrastructure power split is about 2:1 (PUE about 1.5).
