Data Center Design with Simscape

In this project, you will find eight different workflows that help you in designing the data centers using Simscape. You start by building and parameterizing liquid-cooled or air-cooled data center plant models using the composite library blocks provided in this project. The composite blocks let you select between model fidelities based on your application.

Electrical Analysis

On the electrical side, you design a double-conversion UPS validated against IEC 62040-3 and ITIC, evaluate a Solid State Transformer with CHB-DAB power delivery to GPU racks, and assess MW-scale network stability under firmware faults, weak grids, and UPS degradation.

Thermal Analysis

On the thermal side, you size the cooling system over a full year of local weather, tune control settings to achieve a low PUE, design the chiller, cooling tower, and pump temperature controller, and evaluate aisle and server temperatures for air-cooled layouts.
