DATA CENTRES BENEFIT FROM MASSIVE ENERGY AND CO2 REDUCTIONS USING VARIABLE-SPEED DRIVES

摘要

Data centres require massive amounts of power to keep them running smoothly and efficiently. The ever-increasing demand for computing power has a significant impact: with the new technologies, between 20-22 kW of power is required for each single rack, compared to 4-5 kW normally needed in the past. In the future, these environments will become one of the main consumers of power in the world. Carl Turbit of ABB explains.
