What part will data center operators play in the new energy ecosystem?
With the data center’s use of energy rising exponentially and becoming increasingly reliant on the aged infrastructure propping up the power grid, the shift of the data center from energy consumer to prosumer is now all the more crucial. So how can the data center live independently of the grid?
New for 2021, DCD>Grid Scale will focus on the interconnection point between the data center and the grid. Expert-led episodes will examine large-scale engineering projects and all the technologies and decisions involved in aiding the grid of the future to deliver cheap, clean and continuous power: from large-scale fuel cells and gas generation, to virtual power plants to microgrids and hydrogen.
