Interconnection and Studies
Energization is the point when electrical facilities are made live and capable of receiving or delivering power. It is not the same as commercial operation, commissioning completion, or ready-for-service under a lease.
Point of interconnection is the point where the customer or project facilities electrically connect to the utility or transmission-provider system. POI choice can determine cost, schedule, losses, network upgrades, land rights, and whether a site is feasible.
Read definition →Fault tolerant means the facility can continue operating through an individual equipment failure or distribution-path interruption. It is associated with Tier IV, but real fault tolerance depends on detailed topology, controls, and isolation.
Read definition →Uninterruptible Power Supply provides short-duration power conditioning and ride-through between utility events and generator availability. UPS topology, battery chemistry, runtime, efficiency, redundancy, and maintenance are central to data center reliability.
