As a key project under Liuzhou City's three-year "Information Network" Campaign, Liuzhou Telecom Cloud Computing Data Center is situated in the Central Business District of Liudong New Area. Developed and constructed by China Telecom Guangxi Branch, it serves as a core hub tasked with supporting the big data operations of local enterprises and addressing the Internet data requirements of surrounding regions. In April 2020, the project's key supporting equipment - 3 sets of 2200kW 16VC series generator sets - were successfully delivered and formally put into preliminary commissioning and standby operation. This not only established a solid power supply guarantee for the stable operation of the data center but also marked a phased milestone in the construction of the project's Phase I.
The 3 sets of 2200kW units delivered feature a 16VC cylinder block structure and are purpose-built standby generator sets designed for large-scale data centers, with core performance meeting the stringent standards for power supply reliability. Boasting a rated power of 2200kW, these units offer strong load-bearing capacity and stable operation. In the event of a commercial power outage, they can start up rapidly, seamlessly switch to UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) power supply, provide uninterrupted power to the data center's core facilities, and mitigate risks associated with power interruptions.
The April 2020 delivery coincided with a critical phase when Building 1 of the data center's Phase I entered trial operation. The timely arrival of the 3 units filled the gap in the standby power system and laid a solid foundation for the project's full commissioning. Equipped with an N+1 redundancy configuration, the units enhance the reliability of the power system, providing robust support for the subsequent provision of cloud services, strengthening Liuzhou Telecom's regional competitiveness, and driving the development of Liuzhou's digital economy.
Following the delivery of the units, the technical team concurrently completed installation, commissioning, and operation and maintenance training, achieving seamless integration with the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system and commercial power grid to ensure stable power switching during unexpected power disruptions. The commissioning of these 3 units has optimized the data center's power supply structure, underscored the high standards of the project's construction, and provided continuous, reliable power support for future expansion, upgrades, and local informatization initiatives.
