About the 3D AI Data-Center Electrical Power Simulator

Explore a detailed 3D AI data-center power system from utility and generators to UPS, batteries, PDUs and GPU racks. Run transfer, battery and capacity tests.

What the simulator covers

Selectable 3D utility feeders, MV switchgear, transformer coils, engine generators, ATS, LV switchboards, modular UPS, battery cabinets, floor PDUs, busways and dual-fed GPU racks. Equipment cutaways, five camera views, animated active electrical paths and accessible component inspection. Independent A/B paths, workload and cooling power, UPS bypass, module availability and load redistribution controls. Time-based battery discharge and recharge, generator start delay, event log and battery history. Utility-loss, generator-failure, stuck-ATS, UPS-module, inverter-bypass, busway-isolation, low-battery and meter-bias troubleshooting scenarios. Six repeatable system tests for battery ride-through, generator takeover, path loss, depletion, workload capacity and bypass vulnerability. Live single-line diagram, three-phase current estimates, power balance and downloadable CSV test records.

Pre-built scenarios and tests

Healthy dual-path system; simultaneous utility loss; failed generator A; ATS A stuck on an unavailable source; one UPS A module trip; UPS A inverter unavailable with AC bypass; isolated A busway; low batteries during an outage; biased A meter. A repeatable diagnosis challenge compares generator readiness with battery discharge. Six system tests compare immediate battery ride-through, generator takeover after 15 seconds, failed-generator battery depletion, single-path baseline support, high-load capacity shortfall, and loss of bypass supply.

Model and system boundary

A representative 60 Hz, 13.8 kV to 480 V to 415 V architecture supplies twelve dual-fed AI racks. The deterministic model integrates battery energy in seconds, applies source and equipment limits, and counts conversion losses. Cooling and auxiliaries use non-UPS LV buses. Equipment ratings and efficiencies are teaching assumptions; geometry is schematic. Protection coordination, short circuits, arc flash, thermal response, fuel exhaustion, harmonics and Tier certification are outside the scope.

Frequently asked questions

What equipment can I inspect in this AI data-center power simulator?

Explore utility feeds, medium-voltage switchgear, transformers, standby generators, transfer switches, switchboards, UPS modules, battery cabinets, PDUs, busways and dual-fed GPU racks. Cutaway reveals representative coils, busbars, breakers, batteries and UPS internals.

Can I run a utility outage and generator transfer?

Yes. Online UPS batteries carry the IT load during the configured generator start delay. Advance the clock to see generators take over, or introduce a start failure and follow battery depletion and surviving-path capacity.

What controls and troubleshooting modes are included?

Change workload, cooling demand, preferred load split, utility availability, generator delay, UPS bypass and available modules. Troubleshoot failed generators, transfer switches, UPS components, busways, low batteries and a biased meter.

How are battery runtime and power calculated?

The model integrates stored energy using actual modeled path load and assumed efficiencies. It limits service by source, UPS-module and distribution capacity, redistributes dual-fed loads, and reports requested versus served IT. All ratings and efficiencies are explicit teaching assumptions.

Can I run tests and save results?

Run six repeatable cases, apply a case to the live system, inspect the event log and battery history, and download the operating measurements and events as CSV.

Does this work on phones and tablets?

Yes. The controls and single-line diagram adapt to smaller screens. Use the component list and camera presets, or orbit and zoom in the 3D scene. A WebGL-capable browser is needed for 3D.

Is the simulator suitable for designing or certifying a real data center?

It is an educational system model with representative equipment. It does not perform protection coordination, short-circuit or arc-flash calculations, thermal studies, waveform simulation or Tier certification. Real projects require manufacturer data and approved engineering studies.
