THE CHALLENGE
Pushing the limits - from simulations to real world scenarios
Our client was in the testing and commissioning phase of their new hyperscale data centre in Tokyo, Japan. As data centres require a consistent and dependable power supply, emergency generator units are essential to ensure uninterrupted operations in case of power outages or other unexpected events. Testing emergency generator units is a crucial step in commissioning a new data centre and ensuring its readiness for full operation. Given the tight timeframe to successfully complete the tests, the client sought Aggreko’s expertise and flexibility to find a solution quickly. They needed both loadbank equipment and personnel, and trusted our reliable modular approach.
However, the challenge became even more complex as the client required us to test multiple scenarios and a high total load, as well as change the LV cables after every test.
