Summary
A combination of renewables, grid balancing engines and energy storage make for the most cost-effective microgrids to power data centers, while also cutting emissions and providing vital grid balancing to enable the energy transition – according to a new research paper from technology group Wärtsilä and energy solutions business AVK.
The paper, Data center dispatchable capacity: a major opportunity for Europe’s energy transition, provides new analysis on how data center microgrids can reduce grid infrastructure spending, emissions and wasted energy, while providing a balanced path for the energy transition.
The analysis finds that powering the data centers across Europe by optimized microgrids could create a significant bank of dispatchable power, supporting the entire continent’s energy transition.
