4 FAQs about Cabinet energy storage system power station case study

Are energy storage batteries effective in data centers?

The application of energy storage batteries (ESB) in data centers is currently an effective means for cost reduction and efficiency increase in data centers. ESB alleviates pressure on the power grid by peak load shifting, and the operating costs of data centers are further reduced due to the peak and valley electricity price differences.

How much energy is saved by 1000 cabinets?

Maximum energy saving reaches 90.8 GWh/year with 1000 cabinets. Maximum net present value reaches 998 million CNY. Huge energy consumption of data centers has become a concern with the demand for greater computing power. Indirect liquid cooling is currently the main cooling method for the cabinet power density of 20 to 50 kW per cabinet.

How much energy is saved by a battery-powered data center?

The maximum system energy saving is 90.8 GWh with a data center scale of 1000 cabinets. Besides, the maximum net present value (NPV) of the proposed system reaches 828 million CNY with lithium titanate batteries, corresponding to a discounted pay-back period of 2.1 years and an annual emission reduction of 72 kt.

Is indirect liquid cooling a viable solution for cabinet power density reduction?

Indirect liquid cooling is currently the main cooling method for the cabinet power density of 20 to 50 kW per cabinet. An integrated energy storage batteries (ESB) and waste heat-driven cooling/power generation system was proposed in this study for energy saving and operating cost reduction.
