Dirac ConsultingMassive Dynamic commissioning platform

Massive Dynamic for data centers

The whole power and cooling chain, in one live model.

Massive Dynamic models a data center from utility feed to the data hall and keeps every test, gate and schedule in the order the equipment is actually connected.

What it models

Equipment and systems

Electrical

Power distribution & backup

MV and LV switchgear, transformers, UPS, generators, ATS units, PDUs, AC and DC panelboards, and battery systems.

Mechanical

Mechanical & cooling

Chillers, pumps, VFDs and CRAH units, on their own layer so cross-discipline dependencies are visible.

Control

Protection & control

Control power, protection relays, interlocks, redundancy and failover tests, modelled on the control layer.

White space

Data hall

PDUs, racks and IT load, with dependencies traced back through every upstream source.

The equipment library also covers substation packages (HV transformers, breakers, grounding) when they are part of the site scope.

Levels

Commissioning levels, colour-coded

Each level has its own checklists and documentation requirements per equipment type. Levels follow your project's own scheme; this is a typical structure.

  1. L1 RedDelivery & inspection

    Factory testing and site delivery inspection of each item.

  2. L2 YellowInstallation

    Installation verification, grounding and pre-energisation checks.

  3. L3 BlueFunctional

    Start-up and functional tests of each item and its controls.

  4. IntegratedSystems & IST

    Functional and redundancy tests across systems, up to integrated systems testing.

On Massive Dynamic

What changes on a data center project

  • Sequence follows the single-line

    Test predecessors come from the real electrical and control connections, including redundant (OR) feeds and backup sources.

  • Energisation checked on the power path

    Before a step is marked live, upstream sign-off is checked along the actual path, not the tracker row.

  • Deadlocks found weeks early

    Where control power needs downstream equipment live to test interlocks, the loop is found in planning and a temporary generator can be placed to break it.

  • Layouts in one click

    In the Dirac panel, “Build 20 MW 2N data center” or “Build N+1 data center” generates a complete dual-feed or N+1 starting layout that you then adapt to the real design.
