241–264 / 358
Vertiv 2026
Give the rack/pod model a liquid fraction (default about 70% for direct-to-chip) so residual air load is computed automatically.
Cummins 2025
Store per generator the ISO 8528-5 class achieved, BMEP at rated load and the maximum single load step (%) that meets the stated dip limits.
Electronics (MDPI AG) 2025
In rack power-chain efficiency calculations, treat the number of stages and each stage's efficiency as separate inputs, and show the benefit of fewer stages at load points (low and high current).
Schneider Electric 2017
Give the module catalog functional block, form factor, indoor/outdoor rating, walk-in flag, shipping sections, footprint and height.
IEC 2022
In the UPS catalogue, record safety certification (IEC/EN 62040-1), installation location class (restricted access or ordinary-person area) and battery type.
IEC 2016
Store the EMC category (C1/C2/C3) in the UPS catalog.
IEC 2021
In the UPS catalogue, store the IEC 62040-3 classification (for example VFI-SS-111).
IEC 2016
In the power topology, support DC-output UPS and rectifier plants as a source type for DC distribution designs.
Eaton 2018
Add backfeedProtection (internal or external), Icw/Icc rating and required SCPD to the UPS catalogue.
Uptime Institute 2025
When presenting availability improvements, emphasise procedure adherence and training alongside topology.
Uptime Institute 2019
In reliability analysis, weight on-site power as the single largest outage cause and assess redundancy (UPS, generators, distribution) accordingly.
ASHRAE 2023
The tool can compute 90.4 MLC and ELC directly from its mechanical and electrical one-lines: segment losses, UPS efficiency at 100/50/25% load and hourly weather by climate zone.
7x24 Exchange Magazine 2024
Link each electrical study type in the tool (short circuit, load flow, protection coordination, grounding) to its IEEE reference in tooltips and report headers.
Eaton 2018
Add arc-flash attributes per switchboard (available fault current, clearing time, maintenance-mode/ZSI availability, working distance) and compute incident energy per IEEE 1584 for line and load side.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2026
Use as background for the 800 VDC and sidecar topology option.
Rittal 2014
Keep PDU catalogue fields for phases, input A, max kW, outlet types, ambient rating, metering accuracy, relay type and management protocol (SNMPv3).
arXiv preprint (University of Texas at Austin; formatted for IEEE Transactions on Power Systems) 2025
Model AI data-centre load as a persistent periodic forcing (0.3-1.5 Hz band, about 20% of peak fluctuating) rather than a ramp, and add oscillation analysis to the grid-interconnection study.
Vertiv 2024
Extend the power-source library beyond utility plus diesel: BESS (AC- or DC-coupled to the UPS), SOFC prime power, PEM backup fuel cell, PV and CHP, each with fuel type, start time, ramp capability and emissions factor.
The Green Grid 2007
Use as seed content for the tool's efficiency-measure checklist, linking each measure to the subsystem it affects.
The Green Grid 2009
In the energy model, present a Sankey or loss breakdown by zone (utility/MV, UPS, PDU, cooling plant, room air).
The Green Grid 2009
In rack and IT load entry, let users enter measured or vendor-calculator power instead of nameplate.
The Green Grid 2010
If the tool offers 380 V DC topologies, flag them as requiring DC-rated protection devices and connectors.
The Green Grid 2007
In the electrical topology library, tag topology templates (480/208 V AC, 415/240 V AC, DC options) with qualitative pros and cons.
The Green Grid 2011
Support prefabricated module objects (power skids, container halls) as catalogue items with fixed capacity, footprint and interfaces.
