4 FAQs about Lightning-protected data center racks for photovoltaic energy storage in the Philippines

What is the PV power consumption of a data center?

During the period from 8:25 to 17:07, the PV power generation is higher than 17.5 MW. Therefore, during this time, the power consumption of the data center can be fully supplied by the PV system, and the excess PV power is used for the charging process of CAES system to compress the air and store the compressed energy.

How much solar power does a data center need?

Thereafter, system performances under design conditions and the effects of system parameters are analyzed. The results indicate that under design conditions, for the 17.5 MW data center, the required solar PV area is 257075 m2, and the highest PV power can reach up to 55 MW. The all-day efficiency of the PV system is 18.37 %.

Does a data center use solar power at night?

At night, there is no solar power, and CAES will produce the electricity for the data center, so as to reduce the operation costs during the peak periods of power grid. To analyze the performances of CAES system based on PV power generation for a data center, thermodynamic and economic models are established.

How to develop a green data center driven by solar energy?

The system parameters are analyzed. In order to develop the green data center driven by solar energy, a solar photovoltaic (PV) system with the combination of compressed air energy storage (CAES) is proposed to provide electricity for the data center. During the day, the excess energy produced by PV is stored by CAES.
