5 Ways That Microgrids Benefit Data Centers
Today’s data centers must supply a continually increasing amount of processing power, storage, and data transfer capabilities to their clients. However, fears about the environmental impact of this increase puts pressure on data center managers to shrink their carbon footprint and move toward renewable energy production. Balancing these two conflicting objectives might seem impossible, but there is hope. One promising solution to this dilemma is using microgrids—individual, autonomous power grids that can connect or disconnect from the larger city grid at will. Microgrids could produce sustainable energy on-site without straining central power systems. With the effective use of microgrids, net-zero carbon data centers could eventually become a reality. Some people […]
