The city state is looking at greener energy sources and wants to make every aspect of data center energy consumption, from cooling to coding, more efficient.

Schneider Electric highlights the critical need for sustainable data center design to reduce carbon emissions and enhance resilience. Through advanced digital solutions, Schneider aims to optimize energy use and drive sustainability in the data center industry.

Schneider Electric expects the reference designs to address the evolving demands of AI workloads while optimizing performance, scalability, and overall sustainability

The problem is only going to grow as high-powered AI-based computers and devices become commonplace. That's why University of Missouri researcher Chanwoo Park is devising a new type of cooling system that promises to dramatically reduce energy demands.

A detailed analysis of all energy saving opportunities should be made to ensure that the data center total cost of operation is minimized.

Every year, the information technology sector spends almost $7 billion on electricity costs, and much of that money goes to cooling computer processing units (CPUs) in data centers. At the Energy Department’s Sandia National Laboratories, researchers have developed an innovative new air-cooling technology - the Sandia Cooler - that improves the way heat is transferred in computers and microelectronics, significantly reducing the energy needed to cool CPUs in data centers.

380V DC can be distributed directly to the server power supplies, eliminating multiple conversions between AC and DC. Significant cost savings can be realized, reducing energy usage by 10 to 20 percent.

Google plans to increase its energy efficiency by converting the infrastructure of Alabama's Widows Creek Power Plant into a new data center, the company announced in June.

Today, let’s take a look at how the smart robot developed by LG CNS can help data centers resolve their energy problems.

The energy required to run the center will be drawn from the highly efficient local energy grid which is powered by renewable sources such as wind, solar and hydro power. Through a combination of various energy saving techniques, excess energy produced by the facility will serve to heat buildings in the district.

OptiBit, a startup working to find ways to keep power-hungry data centers humming in a more energy-efficient manner, won big at this year’s MIT Clean Energy Prize contest.

A number of efforts have been made to reduce the impact of data centers, both by using renewable energy to drive them, and to improve their efficiency.

Inertech is delivering innovative energy solutions for data centers, which use a free cooling cycle and make it possible to cut cooling energy consumption by up to 90% and water usage by up to 80%, depending on local conditions.

Apple has decided to double the size of the fuel cell power plant at its North Carolina data center.

Last month Apple unveiled that it plans to build both a massive fuel cell farm and a huge solar farm at its data center in Maiden, North Carolina.

San Jose-based SunPower (SPWRA) has landed a plum contract: Its solar panels will generate electricity for Apple's (AAPL) massive new data center in Maiden, N.C., according to a filing with regulators in that state.

The Verdantix report isn’t the first one to deliver such a finding. Last year Pike Research found that cloud computing could lead to a 38 percent reduction in worldwide data center energy use by 2020, compared to what the growth of data center energy consumption would be without cloud computing.

ABB will design and install an advanced, direct current (DC) power distribution system for green.ch, one of the top information and communications technology (ITC) service providers in Switzerland.

Facebook’s new, state-of-the-art data center is situated on 120 acres of land in Central Oregon. The campus will be completed in two phases, each consisting of 150,000 square feet of data warehousing space. Phase I has been completed, with phase II scheduled for completion at the end of this year.

The 155,000-square-foot facility is located in Lockport, N.Y., and unlike conventional ones, it uses 95 percent less water and 40 percent less energy. The energy-efficient data center has a power usage effectiveness rating of 1.08, which is quite less compared to the industry average of 1.92.
