Uptime Institute 2009
In the generator catalogue, store the ISO 8528 rating type (COP/PRP/LTP/DCC) and runtime limits.
Vertiv 2025
Add an AI load-profile object to IT loads (step amplitude %, repetition Hz, duty cycle, peak % of nominal) and use it in UPS and battery sizing alongside autonomy.
Cummins 2014
Add a windingPitch field to the alternator catalog and require 2/3 pitch (or flag) for LV 4-wire generator systems.
Aksa Power Generation 2026
Add ESP and DCP kW/kVA, rated current, fuel l/h at 50/75/100%, exhaust flow and heat, radiator airflow and allowable external static, dimensions/weight and base tank as generator catalog fields.
Springer Science and Business Media LLC (preprint) 2026
When presenting UPS battery autonomy as a way to improve generator reliability, compute the reserve threshold against the mission duration and report that autonomy of minutes adds little to long-outage generator reliability.
Data Center Frontier 2021
Add HVO and renewable-content diesel options to generator fuel selection with CO2 factors.
T.C. Cumhurbaşkanlığı / Bakanlar Kurulu 2007
In the TR profile, default IT-room suppression to a TS ISO 14520 clean-agent design with damper-close interlocks.
Open Compute Project Foundation 2026
Extend the generator catalogue with technology type (diesel, HVO, gas, H2 ICE, PEM fuel cell), emissions factor relative to the 1742 lb/MWh baseline, start time, block-load capability and NFPA 110 level.
Schneider Electric 2021
Add a protectionControlScheme attribute to the MV module: hardwired_plc_modbus, iec61850_station_bus, iec61850_process_bus.
Schneider Electric 2011
Store UPS efficiency as a curve with at least 25/50/75/100% load points, plus storage type (battery, flywheel) and ride-through seconds.
Cummins 2017
Check smallest-to-largest set ratio against the 30% guideline and flag designs below it.
Eaton 2025
Add grid-code parameters to the utility connection object: UFLS stages, LVRT curve, post-fault power recovery ramp (%/s) and short-circuit ratio at the PCC.
Cummins 2025
Give generator catalogue entries a rating table keyed by class {ESP, PRP, COP, DCP, DCC/manufacturer-unlimited} rather than a single kW value.
Aksa Power Generation 2020
Keep both standby and DCC kVA per model in the generator catalog; where data is missing, use DCC ~0.9-0.94 x standby as a flagged estimate.
ABB 2022
Use it as a template for a '2N LV, 0.5 MW' starter project, auto-generating the RPDU, RPP, secondary board, UPS, main board and transformer/generator chain from rack count and kW/rack.
Teksan 2020
Compare the generator start-plus-transfer time with UPS autonomy and show the margin in the design file.
Uptime Institute Journal 2019
Support generator-less or reduced-generator options in the design wizard (fuel cell, long-duration BESS) with explicit autonomy-hours calculation and load-shed tiers.
arXiv (University of South Carolina) 2026
In data-centre generator load-transfer and retransfer sequencing, size load steps against generator voltage and frequency limits, and split steps whose prediction band crosses a limit into smaller steps.
Caterpillar 2014
Store per rating the kW, average-load-factor limit, annual-hour limit, overload allowance and a utility-paralleling-permitted flag.
Cummins 2025
Sum fault current at the collector bus from catalog X"d, kW, V and pf, add motor and transformer terms, and check breaker kAIC and bus bracing.
Cummins 2015
Compare candidate set sizes on count, footprint, install and maintenance cost for the target N+x, preferring fewer larger sets where the site allows.
