Mission critical environments are specialized facilities designed to support business operations that are essential for the continuous functioning of an organization.
These environments often include data centers, telecommunications, hospitals, airline operations, police stations, emergency operations centers, utilities, certain manufacturing facilities and government services.
From an energy perspective, mission critical environments are significant for several reasons:
High Energy Demand
Mission critical facilities usually consume large amounts of energy. This is due to their extensive use of electronic equipment, such as servers, cooling systems, and other infrastructure that must operate continuously without failure. For instance, data centers, a common type of mission critical facility, are among the most energy-intensive building types, often consuming 10 to 50 times the energy per floor space of a typical commercial office building.
Reliability & Redundancy
The need for high reliability and redundancy in power supply is a defining characteristic of mission critical environments. These facilities often have systems designed to guarantee an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), including multiple power sources, backup generators, and battery systems. This is crucial because even a short period of downtime can result in significant financial losses or disruption of essential services. For instance, hospitals require continuous power, especially during natural disasters, to maintain critical operations.
Energy Efficiency Challenges
Given their high energy demand, improving energy efficiency is a major challenge and priority in mission critical environments. Efforts to enhance efficiency include the implementation of advanced cooling technologies, energy-efficient server design, and software for optimizing data center infrastructure management (DCIM).
Maintenance
Being able to maintain your equipment and keep it online is important and sometimes an afterthought. Concurrent maintainability is the ability to keep the power flowing while maintaining your system. Taking an outage to maintain your UPS is often a challenging task. We can design systems that do not need to be taken offline. Generator testing at a hospital can lead to a brief outage and a close transition transfer switch can allow for testing without power interruptions.
Environment Impact
The environmental impact of mission critical facilities is considerable due to their high energy consumption and, frequently, dependence on fossil fuels for backup power generation. This has spurred the industry towards investing in renewable energy, exploring carbon offsetting, and implementing more stringent energy use reduction strategies.
Cost Management
Energy consumption is a major operational cost for mission critical facilities. Therefore, managing these costs, while maintaining reliability and uptime, is a crucial aspect of operating such environments. Energy pricing can also fluctuate based on demand, availability, and geopolitical factors, adding another layer of complexity to energy management in these facilities.
Regulatory & Standards Compliance
Mission critical facilities often need to comply with various regulatory standards that can include reliability like N+1, energy efficiency requirements, environmental impact assessments, cyber and physical security, and emissions controls.
Regulatory & Standards Compliance
Mission critical facilities often need to comply with various regulatory standards that can include reliability like N+1, energy efficiency requirements, environmental impact assessments, cyber and physical security, and emissions controls.
From an energy perspective, mission critical environments are characterized by high energy demand, the need for uninterrupted and reliable power, challenges in energy efficiency, significant environmental impacts, the complexity of cost management, and strict compliance requirements.
Balancing these factors while maintaining service continuity is key to the management of these facilities.
