In mission-critical environments like data centers, the reliability of engines is paramount for maintaining operational continuity. MAN engines are designed to meet these high standards, providing dependable and efficient energy solutions. As a trusted partner for facilities with rigorous safety requirements, such as nuclear power plants, MAN engines ensure the reliable operation of your data center.
MAN engines stabilize the power grid for irish power plants
As the share of renewable energies grows, reliable backup capacity becomes crucial to ensure a secure energy supply. MAN dual-fuel engines respond quickly to any fluctuations in the power grid, thus stabilizing the power grid of the future.
Reliability during emergencies
Data centers require reliable backup power solutions to ensure uninterrupted operation in emergencies. MAN Energy Solutions offers dependable emergency diesel generators, specifically designed to provide fast start-up, high reliability, and ease of maintenance. Integrating these generators into data center infrastructure ensures seamless operation during power outages and enhances overall performance and durability.
Efficient use of heat
Efficient heat management in data centers is becoming increasingly important as energy demands rise. Combining Heat and Power (CHP) plants and innovative heat pump technology optimize energy consumption and reduce environmental impact by utilizing waste heat generated by data centers. MAN engine-based CHP solutions achieve fuel efficiency of up to 95%. Harnessing these technologies has the potential to significantly improve the energy efficiency of data centers, contributing to global decarbonization efforts.
It’s a question of flexibility. If a municipal utility has a system like ETES in its portfolio, it can be used to better balance the supply and demand of electricity and heat.
Green energy storage solutions
Green energy storage solutions like MAN MOSAS, MAN ETES, and Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) are vital for sustainable data centers and grid stability during the transition to renewable energy. MAN MOSAS uses molten salt for thermal storage, while MAN ETES provides heating, cooling, and electricity on demand. LAES offers versatile, large-scale energy storage by utilizing ambient air. These technologies enable a sustainable, efficient, and reliable future for green data centers.
