In the drive for Green House Gas abatement and net zero operation, every energy storage option at source, grid, switch, battery, UPS and generator back up in data centres is changing.

What’s the answer to the power over-provisioned data centre? and which is the bigger opportunity? As peak demands rise, a risk averse approach can result in upwards of 40% of drawn power being stranded in the layers of data centre redundancy.

i₃ Solutions Group and EYP Mission Critical Facilities GHG Abatement Group Second White Paper details why we need standby power and why natural gas blended with hydrogen could be the fuel of choice for the next decade.

Ed Ansett, Co-Founder and Chariman of i₃ Solutions Group, discuesses the position of SaaS providers who act as both customer and supplier. He explores whether power use is rishing up the agenda for SaaS companies and their customers and asks if not, why not?

The team at i₃ Solutions discusses the balancing act between energy, site selection and price when building a more sustainable data centre.

Ed Ansett, Founder and Chairman of i₃ Solutions Group, asks could the Irish data centre sector explore energy sources such as natural gas, biogas and blended hydrogen for its power

In a world where sustainability is ever more prevalent, the continued use of diesel in data centres just won’t do. Customer demands, regulation and the outcry against GHG emissions may well make a switch from diesel standby to gas generation a timely move for those facilities still running on ‘dirty’ fuel, says Ed Ansett, founder and chairman at i₃ Solutions Group.

Sustainability is both a journey and a destination. For data centres to become truly sustainable there are many things that must change and some things that must end, says Ed Ansett, Founder and Chairman, isub>3 Solutions Group.

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?

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.

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.

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.

The microgrid discussion in the data centre sector is gathering pace, there is growing consensus that data centres will require onsite or locally generated power delivered through microgrids.

Ed Ansett, Chairman at i3 Solutions, explains why 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.

Ed Ansett, Chairman at i3 Solutions, talks us through his career and how data centre design continues to evolve. Ed shares how he started his career in engineering, and why he made the decision to establish i3 Solutions.
