ON-SITE POWER SOLUTIONS FROM AB
In recent years the use of gas engines in data centers has started to gain traction due to the difficulty to secure grid power for the increasing energy needs of data centers.
At AB , a global, leading supplier of modular CHP plants we are offering CHP solutions specifically designed for data center applications.
If you require 24/7 natural gas fueled operation as the primary power source for your data center, our modular CHP systems are the ideal energy solution.
Our purpose designed energy plants can run either in parallel as well as independent from the grid while delivering power, and cooling at the highest efficiencies and lowest cost to your data center.
WHEN THE GRID IS NOT ENOUGH
The ever-increasing power demand is causing many electric utilities to struggle with the supply of power required by a data center. Rather than delay a project, or invest in expensive grid upgrades, it will be more cost effective to invest in a modular power plant that can run independently as well as in parallel with the grid.
HOW TO LOWER ENERGY COSTS, WHILE ALSO LOWERING EMISSIONS
As much as 40% of the energy consumed in a data center is used for cooling the computing servers. The need for a tremendous amount of electricity results in very high energy costs. These facilities require the highest levels of reliability to ensure continuous operation.
That’s why ECOMAX ® is the perfect solution for data centers. Trigeneration is an extension of the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) concept: CHP allows the simultaneous production of electricity and heat; trigeneration takes this a step further by providing cooling via an absorption chiller, using waste heat from the generator as its energy source.
