Abstract
Systems and method for the distribution of data center power are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a reserve power system comprising a switchboard, reserve UPS, and generator; and a primary power system, the primary power system comprising a primary UPS coupled to a primary power source via a primary input, a critical load via a primary output, and the reserve power system via an automatic bypass input. The primary power system may be configured to supply power from a utility to the critical load, detect an outage of the utility, supply power to the critical load using a stored energy device in response to detecting an outage of the utility, monitor the capacity of the stored energy device, transmit an on bypass request to the reserve power system transfer the critical load to the reserve power system upon determining that the capacity of the stored energy device has reached a pre-determined threshold, determine that the reserve power system is able to support the critical load and transfer the critical load to the reserve power system if the reserve system is able to support the critical load.
