Description
Successful projects will demonstrate competence in reserch, design, assessemnt/analysius and reporting. Topics can include one or more of the following: measurement, data centre performance, energy management & metrics. HVAC prototype design/build, Simulation of Data Centre energy use, power system risk/reliabilities studies. Energy Efficiancy Perfroamnce Imprvement opportunity assessment, free air cooling. The Data Centre Project places emphasis on research rather than simply building a prototype of HVAC/data centre model.
The module runs full‑year with 10 credits and is full-academic year based
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
(KB) In consultation with assigned supervisor, select an area of research interest suitable for development into a L7 Data Centre project.
2.
(KB, CR, CC & KHSR) Use appropriate peer‑reviewed academic resources to research the area of interest and to summarise the findings in a literature review
3.
(KB, CR, CC & KHSR) Use the research from 2 above to develop appropriate research question and develop an appropriate project to address the research questions.
4.
(CR, CC & KHSR) Assess the potential safety hazards associated with the project and complete the corresponding risk assessment form
5.
(KB) Select and sourcesuitable hardware and software and design, build and test a project to answer certain research questions.
6.
(KB) Draw appropriate conclusions from the project in relation to the research questions Complete a project report documenting the project research, results and conclusions
Teaching and Learning Strategies
Based on monthly progress review with Project Supervisor.

Indicative Syllabus
This a supervised project based on a keydata centre research topic and requires high level of peer review of published data/literature on some KPI of data centre managment and operation. It may, though not mandatory, include design/building a prototype unit of the variables being assessed and include software/hardware for VI and HMI.
