Optimizing Hybrid Energy Systems for Data Center Power
February 11, 2025 | 3:00 PM - 3:45 PM | Room C145
The rapidly accelerating data center market will not be possible without reliable, sustainable and affordable power. In this case study, we’ll analyze a data center’s needs and design a system that balances renewable energy, stable backup power and cost-effectiveness. The presentation of this use case, the various identified energy system designs and the overarching system implications will contribute to the development of more sustainable and cost-competitive future data center power solutions.
