| Title | Electrical power system(s) design setup, testing & commissioning for data centres |
| Summary | This project explores the development of testing and commissioning procedures of the electrical power components & systems for a data centre, including developing test procedures of the components (transformer, UPS, standby generator, etc) from factory acceptance test (FAT) to system site acceptance test (SAT). The student will also assist in the purchase procedures of the electrical components from the factory to the on-site acceptance test (SAT) after the components are integrated into the electrical system to power up the data centre. The project provides hands-on experience in identifying the tests to be conducted, selection of appropriate test & measurement equipment to conduct the tests at the factory and the complete installation at the data centre bridging theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Project Stages and Tasks: 1. Literature Review: Conduct a brief literature review to familiarize with various electrical and earthing systems that can be deployed for a mission critical data centre. 2. System Design: Assist the effort in designing electrical system, earthing system and lightning protection system of the datacenters. 3. System Sizing & Components section (Hardware): Size up the components and identify the parameters of testing at the factory. 4. System Implementation : Develop checklists for step by step inspection and on-site testing starting from dead test to semi-live test to live test followed by run-in test. 5. Final Report: Compile and document findings and results in a comprehensive final report. The student may contribute to only one, or a few, or (ideally) all the activities listed above, depending on the available time, his background and skills, and other factors (e.g. collaboration with other parties, time needed for various other elements, etc.) While not mandatory, preliminary knowledge of electrical system theory, earthing system and lightning protection system are highly desirable and would be a big plus. This project is in collaboration with the TUV SUD PSB Pte. Ltd. company, where the student will carry out most of the work, joining a research team of experienced scientists and engineers, under the guidance of Tan Lee Heng as co-supervisor. It is preferrable if the student is willing to start the work earlier (BEFORE the school starts), namely to gradually begin as soon as possible after the end of the exam session. Since this is a company-based project the candidate(s) may first be interviewed by the company co-supervisor and the supervising prof. |
