After the completion of the data center, the operating cost mainly comes from the electricity bill. Statistics show that the electricity bill accounts for more than 60% of the data center's operating expenditure. How to solve the "disease" of the data center power supply system? At present, the penetration rate of lithium batteries has continued to increase, and the lithium battery energy storage system will surely open a breakthrough in the field of data centers.
How to solve the high power consumption of the data center?
The data center is never by your side, but it is closely related to everyone's life. Every order during online shopping, every like on a short video website, and every comment published on Weibo requires data to be called, which also requires the support of a data center, which also consumes electricity at all times.
The data center is a huge guy that consumes a lot of electricity. Data centers across the country consume the equivalent of two and a half Three Gorges hydropower stations in a year, and the annual power consumption of a very large data center can exceed 300,000 people in a city.
Therefore, reducing the energy consumption of data centers is a problem that China must solve on the road to carbon neutrality. As the energy density of lithium batteries is getting higher and higher, the safety performance is improved, and the relative cost of use is reduced. The demand for lithium batteries in the communication field, electric power field, power vehicle field, data center and other fields is increasing. Lithium battery is becoming The direction of supporting data centers to reduce energy consumption is moving steadily.
Lithium battery energy storage system reduces data center electricity expenses
As for the core of the power supply system, UPS power equipment is the "Dinghai Shenzhen" that supports the smooth operation of the entire data center. In the past, data centers mostly used lead-acid batteries for power backup. The lifespan of these batteries was usually about 5-7 years. To ensure the safety of backup power, they had to be replaced regularly, and most of the batteries did not discharge during the life cycle, resulting in a waste of resources (sunk cost). ).
From the point of view of power consumption and energy consumption in data centers, lithium battery energy storage systems are just right to be useful. If the lithium battery energy storage system is properly configured in the data center, on the one hand, it can be used as a backup power source to provide power protection, and at the same time, it can give full play to the role of peak shaving and valley filling to help save electricity bills and reduce energy consumption.
In contrast, compared with traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries far surpass the former in terms of weight, energy storage, and life cycle. Lithium batteries take the energy dilemma of the data center as an entry point, and based on its function of "shaving peaks and filling valleys" for the power supply system, it can ensure the stability of power supply.
Golden Samurai UPS Power Supply under Huabao Power has established a technical team to develop lithium battery energy storage system. After a large number of experiments and user experience, Golden Samurai UPS power supply supporting lithium battery energy storage system can be well combined with UPS power supply system and pass power together. Energy storage can also help data center energy-saving management, and energy storage equipment can also interact with the grid friendly, complete peak-shaving and valley-filling power load management through power demand response, and create revenue for data centers.
For example, when the data center uses clean energy, especially the nearby wind, light and other volatile green power, lithium batteries can be used to store power when the power supply capacity of the grid is strong, and release it for supply when the power supply capacity drops. The use of data centers not only reduces the overall load of electricity consumption in the city, but also saves a lot of extra electricity expenses due to peak electricity consumption.
In addition, for the data center, the benefits are far more than these. The use of lithium batteries can maximize the use of existing space and reduce operating costs. Lithium batteries can operate at higher temperatures than VRLA without loss of capacity and can reduce the load on the cooling system.
The establishment of a green data center has become the trend and direction of future data center development. The data center is equipped with a lithium battery energy storage system, and the use of renewable clean energy can reduce the carbon emissions of the data center, save operating costs, and obtain benefits. It is a longer period of time in the future. A better choice for data centers.
