Can microgrids help data center operators achieve sustainability goals?

Now available on demand, a new webinar series from Microgrid Knowledge and Data Center Frontier outlines how microgrids can help data center operators improve their electric resilience, lower energy costs and achieve sustainability goals.

What is a microgrid & how does it work?

Microgrids are self-contained electrical networks that draw from on-site energy sources (e.g., solar, fuel cells, and energy storage). As such, they supplement grid availability to keep the data center online in the case of a grid outage, working in concert with UPS, energy storage, and back-up generators.

Can microgrids improve electric resilience?

To help educate data center operators as they explore the use of microgrids to improve electric resilience, lower energy costs and achieve sustainability goals, the editors of Microgrid Knowledge and Data Center Frontier recently hosted a three-part webinar series on the topic.

Are all microgrids for data centers webinars free?

All three webinars in the Microgrids for Data Centers series are now available to view for free on demand.

What is included in a microgrid webinar?

Each webinar includes a question and answer session recorded during the live event. Watch a 3-part webinar series on microgrids for data centers. In addition to the webinars, Microgrid Knowledge and Data Center Frontier also collaborated on three-part white paper series on the topic.

How can a microgrid increase energy consumption?

When the cost of grid energy rises, the microgrid can increase consumption of onsite renewable or stored energy. Stored energy can also be sold back to the grid when most economical. And consumption of renewable energy can be maximized to meet greenhouse gas emissions targets.
