Data Center Commissioning

Our team of data center commissioning specialists partner with contractors, owners and operators for comprehensive testing to ensure optimal data center reliability

Before a data center goes live, you need to be certain that it can rely on its critical infrastructure, no matter what. This includes load testing your data center power, as well as heat load testing your cooling systems and chillers. We provide remote testing across the full range of test levels: from L1 factory acceptance tests to L5 integrated system tests. All with full documentation for your auditing and reporting process.

Data center commissioning testing from Aggreko enables you to:

  • Safely assess your entire power and cooling systems
  • Uncover issues and resolve them before you become operational
  • Go live with confidence that your critical infrastructure is ready

Aggreko’s Greener Approach to data center commissioning

At Aggreko, we’re committed to offering the latest technology and expert services to support our customers in their transition to a greener future. And that commitment starts at the very beginning of your data center’s lifecycle – including during the commissioning phase.

Our data center power and HVAC solutions are all designed to increase efficiency while lowering environmental impact.

With rightsized solutions and industry-leading equipment, you can ensure that every test is run with your sustainability goals in mind, allowing you to:

    Ensure reliability and efficiency

Cleaner energy solutions for commissioning needs

  • Our Tier 4F diesel generators work in the same way as the cleanest car engines, limiting carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter to provide efficient power for use in ultralow emissions zones.
  • Our battery energy storage systems (BESS) are designed to deliver the ultimate in performance efficiency. These are ready-to-install energy solutions with everything included in a standard container, including inverters, HVAC, fire protection, and auxiliary components. All are tested by our experts and operated by the smartest software on the market.
  • Our hybrid power plants include a battery paired with a low-emissions or gas generator, meaning fuel is only used when it’s needed most. During non-peak hours or at night, the generator turns off and the battery provides power – ideal for welfare structures, lights, and security systems. They are also fully automated and require minimal maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

A shot of two technicians in a data center looking at a tablet and a laptop.

Uptime and availability are key to success in any data center – but it can be difficult to be certain about performance until your data center power and cooling equipment is under pressure. When demand spikes, you need to be sure your equipment can cope. A load bank gives you a way to put your equipment under a fixed load and test how it performs – a key part of data center commissioning.

In general, the more test points you have along the path of your data center commissioning the better. Global frameworks for testing include five distinct levels, each offering its own check:

  • Level 1 testing in the factory where equipment is made
  • Level 2 testing to check equipment has arrived safe and intact
  • Level 3 testing to check installations before equipment is powered up
  • Level 4 testing to check individual pieces of equipment under load
  • Level 5 testing to assess how equipment works together under load
