Are nuclear powered data centres on the horizon?
Across the globe, activity in the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) space is gathering pace. Governments, regulators, atomic agencies and authorities, global power manufacturers, research bodies and new market entrants are busy. For the data centre industry, the question is whether SMRs are applicable to the sector? Could they change how data centres are powered?
Q: “Will data centre cooling failures become more common?”
A: ‘Yes.’
Heatwaves are changing the risk appetite for data centre operators when thinking about a safe operating temperature.
Fuel cell use in data centres – How much do you know?
Despite the evidence of numerous data centres piloting fuel cells, as well as predictions for strong growth of the technology in data centre applications, actual use remains low. The industry needs a greater understanding of fuel cells to drive wider adoption of a technology which could accelerate the effectiveness of the sector’s GHG Abatement efforts.
