Abstract: A power distribution grid for a facility, such as a data center, is located within the facility. The power distribution grid includes a plurality of power transport elements arranged in a grid pattern and nodes located at intersections of the grid pattern. Electrical loads are supplied power via respective nodes of the power distribution grid. Also, each node is supplied power from more than two transport elements, such that one or more transport elements can fail and electrical loads connected to a particular node associated with the failed transport elements continue to receive electrical power supplied to the particular node from at least two different transport elements.

Abstract: A switching assembly selectively routes power received from upstream power distribution systems over power transmission lines to a downstream electrical load using data signals communicated to the assembly from the power distribution systems over the power transmission lines. The switching assembly monitors information in the data signals to determine conditions in the upstream power distribution systems. The switching assembly can use the conditions in the power distribution systems and monitored power feed characteristics of power received at the switching assembly to determine whether to command a switching mechanism to switch the power feed routed to the load. Power system conditions can be used to adjust tolerance thresholds against which power feed characteristics are compared to determine whether to command a switch. The switching assembly can include an interposer device that controls the switching mechanism based on analysis of data signals received over the power transmission line.

Abstract: A modulator system for converting a current-varying sensor output to a digital representation is disclosed. The modulator system includes a resonator with a first resonator input and a second resonator input. The first resonator input carries a constant reference current and the second resonator input carries a varying input current. In response to a digital output, the resonator generates a complementary voltage output based on a difference between the constant reference current and the varying input current during a conversion time. The resonator resonates near or at zero frequency. An accumulated digital output is based on the accumulation of the digital output generated at each sampling clock cycle of the conversion time and represents a digital word proportional to the varying input current.

At the data center location, the pre-assembled data center infrastructure module may be expanded and installed between self-standing frames.

Abstract: A power busway tap box with integrated uninterruptable power supply (UPS) functionality is enabled. A busway may be utilized to distribute electrical power throughout a data center. A busway tap box may incorporate one or more components providing UPS functionality. When the busway is distributing alternating current (AC) power, the tap box may incorporate a rectifier, an electrical energy storage device (e.g., a lithium-ion battery), and an inverter. The tap box may keep a substantially conventional form factor, or an extended form factor to accommodate larger electrical energy storage device sizes. The busways may run overhead in a data center and the tap boxes may physically couple with the overhead busways and be disposed beneath them. By distributing the UPS functionality throughout the data center, the impact of UPS failures may be lowered and/or environmental maintenance costs may be reduced.
