A test of ingenuity | Deliver a complex networked load bank solution
- The challenge
Implement a fully networked load bank solution for level four and level five testing
- The solution
Every load bank was individually labelled and assigned into groups according to the designed plan
- The impact
The project was delivered on time and budget

The Challenge
Implement a fully networked load bank solution for level four and level five testing
The electrical contractor was very involved in the project because the customer has a stringent quality control process. It was critical to the project team that the load bank network have extensive heat load shifting capabilities. Aggreko was tasked with developing a load bank networking plan that would execute the full scope of the commissioning agent’s plan.
- Scope project to gain in-depth understanding of the data center, testing requirements and previous issues
- Review the commissioning plan to provide engineered drawings that overlay with the commissioning plan/load bank layout.
- Installation of load bank solution with independent power source.
- Ensure no costly delays or impacts to testing schedule.
