Ameri Com Datacenter
Cutting-edge 22MW microgrid designed for Ameri Com data center that would result in significant cost savings and emissions reductions
Overview
CHP and solar bespoke microgrid and cooling system designed to produce cost savings and shrinking carbon footprint
Ameri Com consulted G-Wizz to design a bespoke green-energy microgrid for their data center, providing their total electricity and cooling requirements. The microgrid was designed to the exact specifications and requirements of the facility. It utilizes a combination of a combined heat and power (CHP) system and a solar power system and is designed to be installed alongside their pre-existing energy infrastructure.
The designed CHP system implements two engines produced by Solar Turbines, a 2MW solar power system (also acting as a parking canopy), and cooling towers. The engines and solar power system produce the facility’s total electricity requirements, while the hot exhaust from the engines within the CHP system is directed into cooling towers. The cooling towers utilize and convert the energy from the hot exhaust to reduce the temperature of a coolant. The coolant is directed throughout the facility to cool the computers and provides the facility’s total cooling requirements.
The execution of this plan by Ameri Com Datacenter would not only reduce its carbon footprint, but also capitalize on the advantages of cleaner, more efficient energy sources such as reduced energy costs leading to increases in profits, and federal and state government incentives. Furthermore, the installation of an entirely self-owned, standalone facility alongside the pre-existing energy infrastructure would eliminate blackouts, further increasing profits.
