My Dad shows the Battery System for the Largest Data Center in New Jersey, how it works, Thoughts?

What happens here

The electrician emphasizes a crucial aspect of data center power: the backup batteries are in continuous use, supplying 100% of the power to the data center at all times. This 'always-on' configuration ensures that there is no power interruption, 'dip,' or 'blip' whatsoever if the main utility power is lost. He highlights the system's redundancy, referring to 'System One' and 'System Two,' indicating multiple independent paths for critical power delivery.

Goal: Grasp the operational principles of uninterrupted power and redundant systems.
