Moses Engineering served as the prime design professional for the College of Central Florida’s chiller plant expansion project. The project design featured the following:
University of Florida’s East Campus Data Center is home to the HiPerGator AI, the nation’s most powerful university-owned supercomputer. Infrastructure upgrades were needed to provide emergency power and redundant air conditioning to the supercomputer, which is available for access across the State University System and UF Health.
Moses Engineering provided the design for this infrastructure expansion, including:
This project posed a challenge, as the HiPerGator AI had a per-row average power density that was 42% greater than the physical maximum the data center was originally designed to accept. Due to the high-power density of HiPerGator AI, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used extensively on this project to ensure the proper cooling of this equipment. The result of this effort determined that if the airflow into the server areas were precisely controlled, the data center could accept this high-density equipment.
Moses provided N+1 redundancy on the HVAC system, upgraded the data center’s maximum per row average power density by 20%, and a fully redundant power distribution system using a ring bus.
Moses Engineering managed and coordinated the renovation and replacement of all mechanical and electrical equipment for this critical utility plant on the University of Miami campus. The renovation and upgrade were needed to increase the overall capacity of the plant.
Tight coordination with the serving electrical utility, campus planners, campus facilities/utilities departments as well as class schedules was essential and contributed to the overall success of this project.
This laboratory renovation focused on improvements to the 15,000 square foot 3rd floor of the FDOH Hardy Building that contains two primary departments, Molecular and Newborn. Moses Engineering has completed multiple renovations to the Hardy Building over the last 15 years, contributing to our familiarity with the building and overall success of this project.
The scope of work was built in two (2) phases and the renovation focused on the MEP and Architectural improvements to each of these laboratory spaces in addition to updating the associated offices, hood rooms, and CT suite. The scope included the following elements:
Moses Engineering also provided commissioning of the central building automation system, building heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, lighting controls, laboratory controls, fume hoods and pressurisation.
Moses Engineering is the prime design professional for the design of a Central Energy Plant for Bethesda East Hospital to replace an ageing plant. This effort is currently in progress and also includes coordination with architectural, structural, and civil engineering design professionals.
This project is to coordinate the installation of a Duke Energy provided linear generator and new microgrid to serve the existing Research 1 building on the University of Central Florida campus. The new microgrid is intended to serve the power requirements of the building and will be utilised in researching the effects of coordinating multiple incoming sources of power to a building. This microgrid includes the use of photovoltaic cells with battery storage, existing diesel generators, an incoming utility power supply and the new natural gas and hydrogen fired linear generator.
This new microgrid features the following:
In addition to the above supporting equipment, a new microgrid controller (MCG) will be provided to ensure reliable monitoring and controlling of the microgrid. The MCG will protect the facility from blackouts and fluctuations in power consumption. Different types and quantities of assets will be supported by the microgrid control system including tie to utility grid, battery storage, photovoltaic panels and controllable loads including two (2) level-2 charging stations and one (1) level-3 charging station located at the parking garage adjacent to the building. The MGC will be utilised to conduct collaborative research efforts to further develop the reliability and functionality of electrical microgrids.
Moses Engineering is contracted to provide design services for the microgrid controls systems and their integration with the existing Building Automation System, site power associated with new/relocated utility transformers, and all other associated MEP, architectural and structural systems required to construct the new linear generator facility and roof-mounted photovoltaic system. Additionally, Moses Engineering is contracted to provide the coordination of all auxiliary designs between Siemens Industry, Duke Energy, and the University of Central Florida Principal Investigators performing the research associated with the microgrid.
Moses Engineering is also contracted to provide construction administration services throughout the duration of this project as well as coordinate Commissioning services.
