Would you print a data center?

A deep-dive into the different types of UPS systems

Silicon runs on direct current, so why not use DC to power racks?

Why it might make sense to store energy in the racks, instead of in the UPS

It’s cold, it’s renewable, and it’s cheap. But is it ready?

Why worry about efficiency in electrical distribution, when superconductors have no resistance at all?

Dismissed in the 2010s, the idea of running direct current through your building could be set to make a comeback

How the AI boom is changing densities

European countries led by Denmark have plans to connect giant offshore wind farms to new artificial “energy islands” housing hydrogen projects and data centers

As we weather a storm of multiple energy crises, how can a major capital city like London provide power for the future?

There won’t be room for AI in the existing data center metro hubs. So AQ Compute is standing by to plumb it into a hydro-powered facility in Norway

The largest economy in Europe is the first to experience serious legislation relating to data centers

Our biggest issue yet

A primer on connecting UPS systems to the grid

All too often, utility grids can’t provide power when you need it. Data centers are increasingly looking at alternatives

We have heard how great hydrogen will be as an energy source. But how do you get it?

Microsoft has signed a PPA for fusion power. Is this a serious proposition?

As more operators adopt HVO, are the supply chains ready?

We’ve heard talk of nuclear-powered facilities for some years. Could the time have arrived?

The local power landscape can give you autonomy, save money, and maybe provide you with better backup

QTS on how to deploy data centers for hyperscalers in a grid-constrained world

We talk to Alan Howard of analyst firm Omdia and Compass Data Centers' Tony Grayson about SMRs

Can you reach net-zero while helping to provide clean power where the world needs it most? We kick the tires on a new kind of REC

Wind turbines are getting larger, but so are the challenges of deploying them

UPS systems produce a very small part of the emissions from a data center, but operators are being very inventive in ways to reduce them

With electric power grids stressed, and long-term energy supplies in question, data centers may find themselves making more use of diesel backup power in the coming months

On-site solar and wind are growing, but can cell sites ever be independent of the grid at scale?

Here’s how to get reliable energy data - and why we badly need it
