十大网博靠谱平台云托管和数据中心运营商, 远程数据宣布它将安装一个可扩展的1.2MW hydrogen-ready fuel cell microgrid to provide clean energy to its Wythenshawe facility. Working with energy providers Conrad Energy, Electricity North West (Construction & 维修)有限公司(ENWCML)及Bloom Energy, 远程数据 will be the first data centre in the UK to deploy fuel cell technology, in a move which will see the firm reduce greenhouse gas emissions through a 更清洁的, 备氢燃料供应, whilst also boosting the resilience of the data centre via a second power feed into the facility, 从完全不同的燃料来源.
燃料电池通过转换天然气等燃料来工作, 沼气, 和氢, or a blend of fuels into electricity through an electrochemical process that requires no combustion - thus avoiding the emissions normally associated with burning this type of fuel.
远程数据将与康拉德能源公司在电力项目上合作, 谁将全额资助燃料电池的安装, 布鲁姆能源公司提供的. 远程数据, 谁是ENWCML的现有客户, was introduced to the parties via their strategic collaboration to offer these hydrogen ready, 背后的仪表应用到他们的客户群. ENWCML将承担EPC安装工作的所有要素.
马特Edgley, 远程数据的主管, commented; “As a data centre provider we are constantly looking for innovative energy solutions to help ensure a cheaper, 更清洁的, 不间断的能源供应. We have already reduced our carbon output by over 500 tonnes annually through a number of energy saving measures including the installation of a 2MW smart energy battery storage system in 2019. 燃料电池解决方案不仅通过清洁减少了我们的碳排放, 备氢燃料供应, but it also gives us a second power feed into the facility 从完全不同的燃料来源. This level of resilience running in parallel with the existing mains supply will give our clients even more certainty when hosting business critical equipment at our data centres.”
“The 远程数据 deal comes hot on the heels of our partnership announcement with Bloom Energy and ENWCML,马克·凯利说。, 康拉德能源电力解决方案的主管. “Forward thinking companies like 远程数据 recognise the need to future-proof their energy supply whilst taking control of their energy costs. On-site generation from fuel cells is a viable solution which is available today. The fuel cell will operate under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) which brings real added value, 帮助远程数据实现净零碳排放.”
“To be able to announce the first collaboration with one of our existing customers so quickly evidences the huge potential fuel cell technology has for the UK energy sector,查尔斯·赫斯基说, ENWCML市场部经理. “Not only is it our first project, but also Bloom Energy’s first foray into the European market. To be able to bring this exciting technology to the UK is a mark of our intention to be at the forefront of new technologies. 远程数据’s vision to adopt this solution at its Manchester site is testament to the firm’s energy strategy and one that we are sure others will adopt.”
“We are delighted 远程数据 has selected Bloom’s energy platform as their technology of choice to bring clean and resilient power to the UK,Tim Schweikert说, 布鲁姆能源公司国际业务发展高级常务董事. “远程数据是数据中心行业的领先企业, and we look forward to supporting their mission critical infrastructure with clean, 永远在线的电力，同时促进向净零未来的过渡.”
Solid oxide fuel cell technology converts fuel into electricity through an electrochemical process without combustion, 高效率. 这种燃料电池由三部分组成——电解液、阳极和阴极. 在燃料电池中，离子在电解质中移动. 电化学反应转化燃料，如天然气, 沼气或氢气, 转化成电能而不燃烧. 加热的空气进入燃料电池的阴极一侧, 而蒸汽与进入阳极一侧的燃料混合，产生转化燃料. As the reformed fuel crosses the anode, it attracts oxygen ions from the cathode. The oxygen ions combine with the reformed fuel to produce electricity - and clean, 负担得起的, 高度可靠, 不间断电源.
In 2020 远程数据 won the Data Centre Energy Efficiency Project of the Year Award at the prestigious DCS (Data Centre Solutions) awards for its £1.投资500万美元建设新的电池存储系统. The system enables the firm to store electricity from the national grid at times of low demand and discharge it during the most beneficial periods, 在用电高峰时段充当备用. It also offers integrated variable voltage optimisation to deliver a stabilised voltage, thus boosting the resilience of the facility by improving the shelf life of equipment, while reducing unnecessary energy waste and optimising the incoming power supply. 远程数据 was the first colocation provider to implement this type of system in the UK, 让这个项目成为行业首创.
Founded in 2004 远程数据 is a Tier 3 data centre facility offering premium colocation, 为英国各地的企业提供云托管和数据中心服务. The firm’s solutions are designed to enable organisations to protect their applications, 数据和在线状态免受停机的破坏性影响, and to make the most effective and efficient use of technology with secure and scalable hosting platforms tailored to business critical needs. The building has some of the most sophisticated security of any data centre in Europe, 与现场警方有联系, NSI金牌认证, BS5979 certified control room and alarm receiving centre making 远程数据 unique in the UK.
