- 12. Energy Efficiency? • Data Centre costs • Staffing • Connectivity • Energy • => focus on energy
- 13. Energy efficient DC Standard DC CIX 33% 12% Chiller 3% <1% Humidifier 9% 4% CRAC 30% 80% IT Equipment 5% 0.01% PDU 18% <2% UPS 1% <1% Lighting 1% 1% Switch Gear

- 15. National Energy picture Electricity Wind Energy Wind Demand 10GW max 6.3GW max 33% 2025 avg 3.6 GW min 0.0GW min
- 16. The Problem! • Wind energy de-stabilises • Grid infrastructure max’d • 2GW outstanding
- 18. out of sync Wind Supply Energy Demand
- 19. 2007 energy situation Electricity Wind Energy Wind Demand 5GW max 0.9GW max 2006 6.5% 1.8GW min 0.0GW min
- 20. 2025 energy situation Electricity Wind Energy Wind Demand 10GW max 6.3GW max 2025 33% 3.6 GW min 0.0GW min
- 21. 2025 energy situation s arm Electricity Wind Energy Wind nd f Demand i ff w ut o 10GW max 6.3GW max 2025 33% ’t sh 3.6 GW min 0.0GW min Can
- 22. 3 Energy strategies • Build a hyper energy-efficient DC • Network data centres • Energy Demand Management
- 23. DC Power Network • Network DC Power systems • Generate power by day, consume surplus power by night • Give control of network to TSO • TSO can now buy more wind power
- 24. More Geek Porn!
- 25. Energy Demand Management • Can’t control supply • => Control demand • => Energy Demand Management (EDM)
- 26. EDM Incentives • Single Energy Market • Reduced energy costs • Reduced carbon footprint
- 27. EDM Strategies • Demand reduction • Energy time-shift • Demand stimulation
- 28. Demand reduction • Diesel Generators • Heating and • Cooling Thermostat Control
- 29. Energy time-shift • Refrigeration • Ice Bank Air Conditioning • Storage heating • Smart Domestic Appliances
- 30. Demand Stimulation • Swimming Pool Heating • Plug In Hybrid Vehicles • H2 production
- 31. Last bit of Geek Porn!
- 32. Synergy Module Eirgrid NCC Synergy Module NCC Synergy Synergy Synergy Synergy Module Module Module Module Diesel Refrigeration Ice Bank PIHV Generator
- 33. Conclusion • Wind power has massive potential • Wreaks havoc on grid • EDM can counter the instability • => Greater use of wind energy
