Data Centres are increasing in presence and size, as the 21^st century revolution continues at ever increasing pace. Whilst development of data centres remains a specialist IT process, the need for high reliability and availability system design remains paramount and the need for complex and detailed protection studies is often misunderstood. The large size and complexity of the design can mean that obtaining DNO approval for harmonics and voltage disturbance can also be tricky for developers unused to the DNOs standards and requriements.
