The challenges in the current energy market, combined with organizations’ aggressive decarbonization and sustainability goals, mean that data centers are looking for new ways to achieve the shift towards net zero and improve the availability of their sites. Microgrid solutions provide the opportunity to orchestrate their sources of energy, while increasing the amount of renewable energy used to power the data center.

In this episode, DCD will discuss the future of sustainable data centers with always-on power enablers, microgrids, and battery energy storage systems and fuel cells with Peter Panfil, VP of Global Power at Vertiv. How are these innovations revolutionizing the tech world for a greener, more reliable future? In what ways are data centers harnessing the benefits of grid-interactive capabilities? Speakers will shed light on challenges surrounding setting up and utilizing microgrids for the first time and how these can be overcome.
