Speed and Reliability are critical
Data Centers segment is growing faster than some utility grids can support. Additionally, reliability of power availability is crucial for operations. Behind the meter solutions, like solar and storage, fuel cells, and engines, can interconnect efficient generation faster than the grid while limiting exposure to utility rates.
Best Practices
The prominent ways that Data Centers can achieve their objectives are:
- Design modularly to ensure that generation can scale with the data center load.
- Capture the waste heat to power and turn an operating challenge into a revenue opportunity.
- Integrate redundancy with multiple asset types, like batteries, engines, and microgrids, that can work together to improve resilience and uptime.
