The role of microgrids in data center sustainability

As the world becomes increasingly focused on both efficiency and sustainability, data center operators and infrastructure suppliers have the opportunity and obligation to adopt energy resource management technologies that will support real change. Power is one of the largest operating costs in modern data centers – surpassing 50 per cent in some double-digit MW facilities. Combining locally generated power, energy storage, analytics, forecasting, and economic optimization to select energy and grid services can help to create more efficient and environmentally friendly operations. In this session, hear how Vertiv helps operators meet their CSR goals, overcome grid instability and optimize operating costs.
