Keith Maclean-Martin

Technical Director

Piller Power Systems

What will be discussed? 

What role will microgrids play for Data Centres on the road to 2050? Listen in as Piller Power Systems share how hybrid renewable microgrids accelerate the energy transition, and how modular solutions enabling renewable energy could be the best option for the future. With lower regulatory barriers, faster deployments and cost-effective scaling, modular solutions simplify the process for the developer while reducing financial risk – they can even remove the need for UPS in your facility!

Key takeaways:

  • Modular solutions provide significant advantages over traditional static, invertor and battery deployments
  • Modular solutions accelerate the benefit of fast-to-deploy primary and back-up power, protecting return on investment
  • Modular solutions simplify the process to deployment, making them easier to understand and pass regulatory barriers.
  • Modular building blocks including Hydrogen ready cogeneration engines are the true grid replacement option for rapid construction of large scale microgrids with instant results toward emissions.

Speaker

Dr Jon Summers

Scientific Leader in Data Centres

RISE

The RISE ICE datacenter in the north of Sweden has operated a containerised liquid-cooled, biogas-powered, micro data center with direct heat recovery. The solution is quiet, has the potential to operate dense compute for AI workloads close to the users where the generated heat is used for space heating. The presentation will highlight the interesting results-based findings from experimenting with high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells, liquid immersion, and locally produced biogas.

This session will address:

Data centers with combined heat compute and renewable sources of energy eliminate fossil fuel consumption as well the heat rejection to the environment.

At the same time, it creates the conditions for a sustainable development and a circular decarbonized economy. As a consequence, the data center industry, even with a doubled IT-workload, will reduce the energy consumption by 60% and eliminate the direct impact on global warming by reducing its carbon footprint.
