Innovative microgrid technology

Flexible, efficient and sustainable independent power solutions

Off-grid energy centre

  • Power from the energy centrePower from the energy centre
  • Power not available or delayedPower not available or delayed

Description
This model is designed for data centres where no grid power is available, or its delivery is delayed. This solution is entirely independent of the utility grid and ensures uninterrupted power supply through a self-sustaining energy infrastructure.

Ownership
The client owns and operates the energy centre, which supplies all the power required by the data centre.

Advantages

  • Energy independence
  • Immediate deployment
  • Operational control
  • Energy reliability
  • Scalability

Off-grid energy centre

Limited utility energy centre

  • Power from the utility / energy centrePower from the utility / energy centre

Description
In this model, partial grid power is available to the data centre.

Ownership
The client-owned and operated energy centre complements the grid supply by providing additional power capacity as needed. This hybrid approach ensures that the data centre can meet its full power demands while optimising costs and reliability.

Advantages

  • Hybrid solution
  • Cost efficiency
  • Energy reliability
  • Ownership benefits
  • Sustainability potential

Limited utility energy centre

Dynamic tariff energy centre

  • Power from the utility / energy centrePower from the utility / energy centre
  • When the utility tariff is low = Use utilityWhen the utility tariff is low = Use utility
  • When the utility tariff is high = 
Use energy centreWhen the utility tariff is high = Use energy centre

Description
This model integrates a grid-connected energy centre with a dynamic energy tariff selection.

Ownership
The client-owned energy centre operates flexibly, using grid power during low-tariff periods and switching to self-generated power when grid tariffs are high. This strategy reduces operational costs and provides flexibility in energy management.

Advantages

  • Cost optimisation
  • Flexibility
  • Energy security
  • Control
  • Reduced peak loads

Dynamic tariff energy centre

Dynamic tariff energy centre, 
with carbon capture

  • Power from the utility / energy centrePower from the utility / energy centre
  • When the utility tariff is low = Use utilityWhen the utility tariff is low = Use utility
  • When the utility tariff is high = 
Use energy centreWhen the utility tariff is high = Use energy centre
  • Carbon captured from energy centre 
for utilisation / storageCarbon captured from energy centre for utilisation / storage

Description
Building upon ‘dynamic tariff’, this option includes a carbon reduction component. In addition to optimising energy costs through dynamic tariff selection, the energy centre incorporates carbon capture technology to reduce emissions from its exhaust. Captured carbon can be stored or utilised, aligning with sustainability goals.

Ownership
The client owns and operates the energy centre

Advantages

  • Environmental responsibility
  • Cost and carbon efficiency
  • Future-proofing
  • Flexibility
  • Revenue opportunities
