Delta demonstrated its adeptness in overcoming diverse logistical challenges by successfully executing the rapid deployment of an innovative, prefabricated, and fully self-contained Power Train Unit (PTU) solution to support a hyperscale datacenter in Australia.
Mr. Farhad Azizian, Delta Australia Engineering Manager, said, "Not only was this a major project, but it was also a real breakthrough for Delta as it is the first of its kind to be delivered to this site halfway through its expansion. Leveraging Delta’s high power density products, enabled us to deliver power solutions with substantial capacity in a minimal footprint to fit in site-limited space. To enhance the overall system efficiency, we incorporated a high-efficiency Delta UPS, implemented an energy-saving cooling solution using elevated water temperature, and optimized the supply-to-load delivery path to reduce losses. This resulted in a more sustainable solution in addition to saving energy and reducing client OPEX. This was made possible with close collaboration between our experienced engineering team, the client, and seamless coordination with the site contractor team.”
Delta’s PTU is a prefabricated and fully self-contained solution for datacenter power and cooling. This solution offers datacenter owners the advantages of rapidly deployed scalable power with high reliability and efficiency. For this project, Delta deployed 12 PTUs for the customer’s datacenter in 16 weeks in comparison to the 30-40 weeks typically required for a traditional power solution of the same scale. Moreover, providing a factory-tested solution saved considerable time and costs during the on-site testing and commissioning phase.
Delta’s PTU solutions for this site are rated to 1425kW utilizing the modular DPH UPS with UL9540A tested Delta Lithium-Ion batteries, water-cooled DX cooling, fire detection (VESDA) and gas fire suppression (NOVEC), and a fully customizable monitoring and management system using Delta’s Energy Management System (EMS) software platform. This advanced turnkey solution allows for rapid deployment to the site.
The hyperscale datacenter customer selected Delta as a solution provider because of the company’s proven track record in delivering quality PTUs to this industry with an agile services team that is able to supply, install, commission and hand over within extremely tight timeframes. As a world-leading data center solutions provider, Delta has extensive experience implementing power and cooling solutions for MW data center applications in Australia and Asia.
