When the concept of reliability began to formally become an integrated engineering approach in 50s, was associated with failure rate. Today term "reliability" is used as umbrella definition covering a variety subjects including availability, durability, quality, and sometimes function product. Reliability developed quantify "how reliable" component, product, or system when specific application for period time. The data center industry has come rely on "tier classifications" presented number...
Electrical utility reliability indices such as System Average Interruption Frequency Index, Duration Customer and Momentary Index are adequately defined in IEEE Std. 1366-2012, serve the purpose for which they were developed. However, explosive growth of electronics industry moving toward internet things, along with data center development necessary to support growth, has had significant impact on an aging power distribution system. As world evolves notion smart grid, several new metrics...
High reliability (and availability) with low life-cycle costs are general goals for all maintenance programs. An effective preventative (PM) regime balances the cost of elimination degradation failure mechanisms through preemptive intervention. Failures in operation require corrective (CM) and often most expensive to repair. PM is conducted reduce probability specific failures hence CM burden cost. However, actions can themselves introduce additional damage mechanisms. Determining optimum...
One of the most common questions in early stages designing a new facility is whether normal utility supply to fire pump reliable enough "tap ahead main" or so unreliable that it must have an emergency power source, typically on-site generator. Apart from obligation meet life safety objectives, not uncommon capital on order $100 000 $1 million at stake for backup source. Until now, decision has only been answered with intuition - using combination outage history and anecdotes about what...

Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a proven technology to optimize the maintenance processes and another logical step in improving overall performance reliability of critical facility while reducing total cost ownership. This paper will introduce RCM use an automatic transfer switch standby generator back up utility power as example system demonstrate process.

This is the second paper of a series on data center design. The first "Reliability Example Data Center Designs Selected by Tier Classifications," presented at 2010 I&CPS Conference addressed electrical designs. will discuss reliability mechanical cooling systems that would be required for centers with similar designs to examples used in previous paper. review metrics engineering from also included. industry has come rely "tier classifications" as number papers Uptime Institute gradient scale...
This article provides an overview of the IEEE standards that address operations, management, maintenance, and safety industrial commercial power systems. Similar papers were presented at Industry Applications Society (IAS) Electrical Safety Workshop in 2011 IAS Pulp Paper Conference (PPIC) 2012. The 3007 series is part overall reorganization Color Book series. derived from Standard 902-1998, [2] Guide for Maintenance, Operation, Industrial Commercial Power Systems, also known as Yellow Book,...

Electrical utility reliability indices, such as SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI, CAIFI, and MAIFI are adequately defined in IEEE Std 1366-2012 [1] serve the purpose for which they were developed. However, explosive growth of electronics industry moving toward an "internet things," along with data center development necessary to support has had significant impact on aging power distribution system. As world evolves notion "smart grid," several new metrics needed evaluate electrical customer's side meter.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) has a new section that was added in 2008; Article 708 Critical Operations Power Systems (COPS). Though the NEC applies only to United States, methodology of evaluating risk and performing reliability analysis any type critical facility. This article will provide an overview requirements listed present some existing technologies can be used fulfill specific on assessment.
The existing equipment and testing standards for electrical power switchgear clearly define the requirement of ac over-voltage withstand testing. However, some field have deemed dc as sufficient to test dielectric strength insulation system do not require an over-potential test. question is whether or distribution equipment, such switchgear, switchboards panel in which mounting insulators air may be only insulation. This paper will document a series comparison tests both voltages were used...
At the request of US Homeland Security Department in 2005 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) developed first leading practice criterion for building premises wiring emergency management facilities. These criteria appeared 2008 Electrical Code (NEC) as a new section - Article 708: Critical Operations Power Systems (COPS). 708 establishes minimum design, commissioning and maintenance requirements facilities with engineering documentation that identifies them designated critical...
IEEE Std. 902, Guide for Maintenance, Operation, and Safety of Industrial Commercial Power Systems, also known as the Yellow Book, has been an excellent resource engineering, management, safety professionals, maintenance personnel since it was published in 1998.

The key feature of this article is the application quantitative method for evaluating risk and conveying results into a power system design that scaled according to hazards present in any given emergency management district. These methods employ classical lumped parameter modeling chain architectures can be applied type critical facility, whether it stand-alone structure, or portion such as police station government center. This will provide assessment roadmap one most common facilities...
The existing standards for the proper grounding of electronic equipment were developed over 20 years ago. At time, one primary concerns was operation main frame computers installed in a data center. solution to provide signal reference grid and thus "high frequency ground" that all used as reference. Electronic modern center has evolved significantly since then its is much less dependent on quality system. Proper continues be very important facilities safe electrical distribution system,...
