TAG infrastructure society logistics presentation by Page SiplonMelanie Brandt
Page Siplon is the Executive Director of the Georgia Center of Innovation for Logistics. The document discusses logistics in Georgia, including:
1) Georgia has over 11,000 logistics providers and over 1 million logistics jobs.
2) The Port of Savannah is one of the fastest growing ports in the U.S. and handles over 2.9 million containers annually.
3) Future growth projections estimate a doubling of freight demand in Georgia by 2050 due to population growth and increased e-commerce/online shopping. This will require significant infrastructure investments.
This document summarizes water usage statistics for Georgia in 2005 and discusses water usage terminology. It shows that in 2005, 50% of water withdrawals in Georgia were for thermoelectric power generation, while 57% of total water consumption was for irrigation. It also discusses that virtually all water consumption for thermoelectric power is from evaporation from cooling towers, and provides estimates of typical water consumption rates for different types of power plants. Finally, it briefly outlines Georgia Power's future generation water usage projections and the role of the State Water Research Center.
The document summarizes the ongoing Tri-State Water Wars between Georgia, Florida, and Alabama over water rights in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river basin. It provides an overview of the legal history of the litigation and discusses future legal options for resolving disputes through Supreme Court litigation. It also reviews Georgia's water management policies and regulations regarding interbasin water transfers. The conclusion emphasizes that Georgia must evaluate growth patterns and connections between water resources, population centers, and energy to ensure long-term sustainable water management.
This document discusses building a strong business case for process improvement initiatives. It begins by noting how being a vendor and employee both require justifying problems to evaluate opportunities. The presentation then covers agenda topics like real world examples and an interactive experience to start building a business case. It emphasizes digging into process details to understand costs, inefficiencies, and justify the need for changes to secure necessary funding.
This document discusses sustainable trends for increasing energy efficiency and reducing resource use in data center facilities. Some of the key trends mentioned include:
1) Increasing operating temperatures of equipment to eliminate compressor-based cooling and allow for more efficient heat rejection.
2) Using software like DCIM, BIM, and CFD to monitor, control, and simulate data centers to improve efficiency.
3) Adopting techniques like variable speed equipment, high voltage transformers, harvested water, and free cooling to reduce energy usage.

3) Adopting techniques like variable speed equipment, high voltage systems, harvested water, and free cooling to reduce energy usage.
This document discusses power delivery challenges in modern data centers and potential solutions. It notes that IT loads are greatly exceeding the rated capacity of data centers. It also discusses the need for supporting higher densities, improved efficiency, green solutions, and rapid deployment. Specific solutions proposed include higher voltage distribution to reduce losses, modular UPS systems to right-size capacity, and implementing high-density zones with localized cooling.
The document discusses air flow measurements and thermal responses in data centers to help sustainability. It describes experiments conducted in the CEETHERM data center using a 3D PIV system and server simulator to measure air flows under different rack configurations and thermal loads. High perforated tile flow rates were found to cause issues like adverse pressure gradients and hot pockets forming in racks. Temperature mapping showed the impact of tile flow on cold and hot aisle temperatures. The research aims to better understand air flows to help optimize data center design and efficiency.
The document discusses the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) approach to building energy efficient data centers and facilities. It highlights NREL's Research Support Facility, a LEED Platinum building that uses 40% less energy than typical offices. It also describes the Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) data center, which has a Power Usage Effectiveness of 1.06, making it one of the most energy efficient data centers in the world. The ESIF utilizes warm water cooling, high power distribution, and captures waste heat to help heat other buildings on campus.
This document discusses integrating energy efficiency and sustainability into high-performance computing (HPC) initiatives. It outlines HP's services for HPC data center consulting, design, implementation, and management. Direct air and indirect air cooling are currently common, but facilities are moving toward liquid cooling. Modular, scalable designs allow flexibility between air and liquid cooling. Co-locating HPC data centers with other building types improves opportunities for heat reclamation. Future HPC data center designs must prepare for multiple mechanical systems and large piping infrastructures to support high-density liquid cooling.
The document discusses the need for optimizing data centers in a holistic, systems approach. It describes how a data center functions similarly to a computer chip with multiple optimized components. It proposes the development of a research data center facility that would contain the best current capabilities across cooling, power, networking, and software optimization. This facility would have extensive monitoring sensors to directly control and optimize operations based on real-time data.

3) Adopting techniques like variable speed equipment, high-voltage transformers, harvested water, and free cooling to reduce energy usage.
This document discusses power delivery challenges in modern data centers. Data center power requirements are increasing as computing power demands grow. Servers are using more power per rack, exceeding existing capacity. Efficiency improvements are needed through higher density zones, improved UPS systems, and moving to higher voltage distribution of 400V instead of 480V. This can help data centers better support future power needs while improving efficiency and reducing costs.
Taking HPC beyond energy efficiency; sustainability, the new measure of success. This document discusses how high performance computing (HPC) centers are moving beyond just energy efficiency to focus on sustainability. It introduces new metrics like Energy Reuse Effectiveness (ERE) and Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE) to measure sustainability. HPC workloads and architectures provide unique opportunities to harvest waste energy and calculate the carbon savings from HPC simulations, working towards the goal of developing sustainable exascale supercomputers.
The document discusses how AAA implemented a service catalog to improve their business processes and customer experience. It describes how AAA was facing issues with inconsistent and inefficient service request fulfillment. They implemented a service catalog to standardize requests into a structured workflow with automated fulfillment steps and communication updates. This provided benefits like reduced costs, increased efficiency and consistency compared to the previous ad-hoc process.
