Revolutionizing Data Center Construction: Eaton and Siemens Energy’s Fast-Track Approach
In a groundbreaking collaboration, intelligent power management company Eaton and energy technology giant Siemens Energy have joined forces to revolutionize the way data centers are built. Their fast-track approach involves integrating onsite power generation to provide reliable grid-independent energy supplies and standardized modular systems, addressing urgent market needs for swift data center construction and deployment.
Key Points:
- The collaboration between Eaton and Siemens Energy enables simultaneous construction of data centers and onsite power generation, with grid connection and the integration of renewables to meet regional regulatory requirements.
- Siemens Energy’s modular and scalable power plant concept, tailored to the specific needs of data center operators, features highly efficient SGT-800 gas turbines, redundancy, and additional battery storage systems for maximum reliability.
- Eaton will provide customers with a range of electrical equipment and engineering services needed to protect and enable IT loads, offering flexibility in energy sources and swift construction to start-up time to meet the demands of data center owners and developers.
This innovative approach not only offers data center owners and developers unprecedented choices in building and running new data centers but also provides the opportunity to reduce emissions in both the short and long term. By eliminating the need for backup diesel generators and reducing CO2 emissions by about 50 percent, the collaboration between Eaton and Siemens Energy is set to revolutionize the data center industry.
