How electricity price volatility and the race to grid sustainability is accelerating demand response opportunities in data centres.
The demand response decade
Kerr Johnstone of i3 Solutions Group breaks down how pricing volatility and the race for sustainability is driving demand response adoption in data centres.
Data centres, CHP, carbon abatement and the future of the grid
Global climatic change means that for every part of the power chain from generation, across the grid and for intensive energy users such as data centres, the name of the game is carbon abatement.
Combined Heat and Power, and the future of the grid
Global climatic change means that for every part of the power chain from generation, across the grid and for intensive energy users such as data centres, the name of the game is carbon abatement.
De-risking power provision
As the world goes digital and hybrid, energy risks are growing.
With so many applications now cloud-dependent, Ed Ansett looks at how datacentres are responding to this changed demand (p24)
Dynamic workload provision demands automated and adaptable data centre power provision
Power is the life blood of data centre operations, but can it be made adaptable for power chains to be more responsive to multiple IT services SLAs? In this article, Ed Ansett unpacks how ARP can automatically provision power applications with different availability SLAs in the same data centre. Read here now on page 46
Read the exclusive report looking into the Iron Mountain Data Centers & Web Werks Data Centers India’ $150mn joint venture to capitalise on India’s data centre boom.
Michael Goh states, “Iron Mountain Data Centers have a long working relationship with i3 Solutions Group. As our trusted consultant in Asia & Europe, their expertise has helped us deliver multiple successful and timely projects for our customers.”
The changing landscape of data centre energy storage (page 32)
Rapid technology advances are about to shift the landscape of energy storage options for data centre operators.
What will AI computing look like?
Wherever generative AI is deployed, it will change the IT ecosystem within the data centre. From processing to memory, networking to storage, and systems architecture to systems management, no layer of the IT stack will remain unaffected.
Top 10 Data Centre Consultants
With the importance of data centres and supporting digital infrastructure growing ever-increasingly important — and demands on them growing at a similar rate. Data Centre Magazine compiles a list of the top 10, and we make the list at number 9!
Africa’s digital growth is an opportunity for data centre operation and design innovation
Two of Africa’s biggest economies suffer regular power grid blackouts. South Africa continues to grapple with a formidable energy challenge caused by a strained and unreliable power grid prone to rolling outages.
Considerations and modelling of on-premise hydrogen production in data centres for greenhouse gas abatement – a viable option?
With green hydrogen widely touted as the most desirable option for achieving climate change goals, the debate is heating up in the data centre sector where proponents of hydrogen believe it could well be an ideal primary power source for putting the sector on a path to net zero.
Magnetic north: Scotland’s renewable future as a data centre hub
With green credentials that include the UK’s lowest carbon energy intensity, increasing access to RERs, low-cost land and political backing, are the pieces in place for Scotland to fulfil its data centre sector potential?
How Microgrids can help Data Centres be more resilient and sustainable
Whether it is microgrids, distributed energy resources (DERs), co-gen, grid-interactive, islanded or integrated (decoupled or coupled) – there is growing consensus that data centres will require onsite or locally generated power delivered through microgrids.
The Data Centre, Demand Response and the Microgrid
To say microgrids will become a feature of future large data centre design, would be to overlook the idea that technically most data centres of scale can be configured to operate as local microgrids.
How Microgrids can help Data Centres be more resilient and sustainable
Here, Ed Ansett, Founder of i3 Solutions, discusses everything you need to know about microgrids. This conversation covers how data centres will require onsite, or locally generated power delivered through microgrids.
