Key Takeaways: Addresses the critical problems affecting data center deployment; available electric power, speed to occupancy, construction cost, environmental factors, community pushback, Energy Cost, and with minimal carbon footprint.
1.) Capacities:
Can scale from 5 Megawatt to 200-Megawatt and more:
Electric power is produced on site with a series of modular 5-Megawatt cogeneration power plants. Each plant includes redundant generators, cooling chillers, standby generators with UPS and auxiliary systems. The modules may be provided under or adjacent to the IT white space so the cost of distributing power and cooling is minimal.
2.) Speed - Fast procurement and construction:
The design features equipment suited for fast procurement: Modular and identical scalable 5-Megawatt power plants with multiple generators, all 480-volt to 240/120-volt equipment – no high-voltage gear required, multiple suppliers for all equipment.
3.) Sustainable and environmental elements:
a. May be OFF-GRID with no electric utility connection:
The data center electric power is produced by an on-site power plant with no connection to the local electric grid necessary. This avoids any impact on local electric utility rates for others.
b. Low Carbon:
The cogeneration plants are included with an integral carbon capture system that captures up to 90 percent of CO2 emissions. This results in a net CO2 footprint of less than ten percent of comparable data centers. The exhaust of the modular power plants is processed to capture CO2 emissions and create food grade liquid CO2. The liquid CO2 sales pays for the carbon capture plant construction and operation.
c. Low noise: The main mechanical and electric systems are housed on the ground floor.
d. Low water use: Cooling system water is re-circulated.
e. High uptime: Due to a network of multiple cogen plants, UPS systems, and backup
generators.
f. Lower energy use and pricing: Non-electric cooling to reduce electric use.
4.) Several Sites under development:
a.) Florida: 400 Acre Campus with 9 buildings.
b.) Pa. From 5 to 50 Megawatts.
c.) Other sites in pgrogress.
5.) Implementation Steps:
a.) Speed is key: Tenants strongly desire data center space as soon as possible.
