Inhalt:
The increasing deployment of variable renewable energy generation means there is rapidly growing demand from grid operators around the world for grid ancillary services – services that provide fine tuning in real time for the network to match supply and demand. A natural solution to the increasing need for short-term variability management is offered by data center and telecom resources, specifically by their largely idle and underutilized backup infrastructure. Energy Storage now enables data center and telecom infrastructure to effectively balance the discrepancies between supply and demand on the electricity grid, at the same time as delivering 100% reliable UPS service – and an improved economic model for operating the data center power backup services.
