NFPA 2025
In the generator module, capture the EPSS class (fuel run time), type (start time) and level on the generator object and size fuel storage to the class.
NFPA 2025
In the UPS module (US profile), when a UPS feeds emergency or standby loads, record its stored-energy class (runtime) and test regime.
NFPA 2026
When NEC is selected, check article numbers against the 2026 edition because the reorganization moved content (for example the rules above 1 000 V).
NFPA 2027
In the arc-flash module, after the IEEE 1584 incident-energy calculation, produce NFPA 70E-style equipment labels (incident energy, arc-flash boundary, working distance).
NFPA 2026
In battery room design, require ESS hazard-mitigation items when Li-ion UPS or BESS energy exceeds a configurable threshold.
National Institute of Standards and Technology 2021
Decide which communication pathways scenario (high-DER, microgrid) applies to on-site generation, batteries and flexible load in the facility's electrical infrastructure.
National Institute of Standards and Technology 2020
In data-centre power design, set PE-9 requirements for physically separated redundant cabling paths and automatic voltage control on critical components, and define the separation distance as an organisational parameter.
CBRE 2025
Add 'power available within N months' and MW-available fields to site screening.
NVIDIA 2025
Define the cluster template with SU = 8 NVL72 racks at 1.2 MW IT; auto-place SUs in rows following the reference rack layout, allocating ~150 kW per compute rack plus network racks.
NVIDIA 2026
Add the GB300 NVL72 rack to the catalog at 142 kW max, OCP ORv3 (OU) form factor, 8 x 33 kW power shelves, liquid cooled with leak detection; model ancillary network racks as EIA/AC.
Caterpillar 2015
Give the generator module a prime-mover choice (diesel Tier 2 emergency, diesel Tier 4, gas recip, gas turbine), each with start time, full-load acceptance time and permitted non-emergency hours.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2023
Use 3 kW, 4 minutes and 6 hours recharge as default parameters for ORV3 BBU modules in the rack-power calculator.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2022
Model ORV3 in-rack BBU as an alternative to a central UPS and check that generator start and transfer time fit inside the roughly 4-minute window at rated load per shelf.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2026
Add a high-power ORV3 feed type (60 A 480 V / 63 A 400 V IEC 60309) to the busway/receptacle catalogue and size each whip at 48 A continuous in North America for power-shelf capacity checks.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2022
Add ORV3 whip feed types (NA 277/480 V L22-20P 20 A, EU 400 V IEC 60309 32 A) to the power-distribution catalogue so busway tap-off and receptacle schedules can be generated per rack.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2026
Add an ORW rack family whose footprint, height and payload come from the chosen design specification rather than fixed defaults, prompt users for those values, and warn that floor-loading and aisle-pitch checks depend on them.
Eaton 2020
Add maxParallelUnits, paralleling architecture (distributed or centralised bypass) and static switch rating to the UPS catalogue.
Caterpillar 2018
Build an architecture selector with the three options and show consequences: LV-only limit for on-set, required breaker closing speed, and master-controller need for complex sequences.
Vertiv 2018
Give UPS catalogue entries a topology enum, transformer-based vs transformer-free, modular increment (kW) and maximum frame, and eco-mode type (passive bypass vs active inverter).
arXiv preprint (Microsoft Azure) 2023
In the power planner, apply different diversity and oversubscription factors by workload: inference rows can be provisioned below sum-of-nameplate (for example peak about 80% of provisioned), while training rows should assume near-coincident peaks with only about 10% headroom.
Schneider Electric 2024
For every rack, row and upstream device store design maximum supply, design maximum demand (nameplate or as-configured) and measured actual where available; enforce supply >= demand at each hierarchy level including under N-1.
Schneider Electric 2013
Warn when rack branch-circuit load exceeds 80% of breaker rating.
Legrand 2015
In the PDU catalogue keep fields for input (V, A, phases), metering accuracy class and operating temperature rating, using 60 C as the hot-aisle reference.
Energies (MDPI AG) 2015
Make inrush control (pre-charge, soft start) an explicit design step in DC distribution, and assess contact-welding risk in connector and contact selection.
