Build a zero-carbon network in the future to use only electricity and not emit carbon?

Zhou Taoyuan said that the minimalist data center refers to the reconstruction of the architecture through fully prefabricated and modular construction; the reconstruction of power supply through high-efficiency and energy-saving solutions to improve efficiency and achieve predictive maintenance; and solutions such as indirect evaporative cooling to save energy.
Compared with the traditional chilled water solution, it can save energy by 17%; through the intelligent operation and maintenance solution reconstruction operation and maintenance, the efficiency is increased by 35%.

Using more green electricity from renewable energy sources and reducing the use of high-carbon fossil energy is an important step in the zero-carbon network.
Ning Jizhe, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that my country’s installed renewable energy power generation capacity has reached 934 million kilowatts in 2020, which will further expand the scale of renewable energy installed capacity and promote the growth and consumption of clean energy and the coordinated and orderly development of energy storage.

"Ubiquitous green power" refers to the introduction of green power into sites, computer rooms, data centers, etc.
, to create green connections and green computing.
Finally, these four solutions also integrate the "smart energy cloud", through the integrated smart management of source-network-load-storage, and ultimately greatly reduce electricity costs and improve energy efficiency.

To save energy and reduce consumption, IT companies show their magical powers

At present, in terms of energy saving and emission reduction, all operators can be said to have their own magical powers.
Some IT companies introduce high-efficiency power supplies, transform old batteries, increase energy conversion rate, reduce energy consumption, and achieve power saving effects; some use hybrid power supply solutions to reduce the use of diesel generators for power supply due to unstable power Related energy costs and energy losses.

The data center needs to keep running 24 hours a day.
According to the "China Liquid-cooled Data Center Development White Paper" jointly issued by the National Energy Conservation Center and CCID Consulting Co.
, Ltd.
, ultra-large data centers are developing rapidly, and the rapidly increasing power density places higher requirements on heat dissipation.
In 2019, the traditional data center represented by "air cooling" technology, about 43% of its energy consumption is used for heat dissipation of IT equipment, which is basically the same as the energy consumption of IT equipment itself, 45%, reducing heat dissipation power consumption and controlling data With regard to center operating costs, building a green data center has become a top priority.

"Liquid cooling technology is the best shortcut to break through the energy-saving bottleneck of data centers," said Yao Yong, senior vice president of Sugon Digital.
The benefits of liquid cooling technology to the industry are far more than energy-saving.
The high-efficiency cooling effect of liquid cooling technology can greatly improve the stability, efficiency and service life of servers, and at the same time increase the deployment density of servers per unit space, highly save space and land, and greatly simplify the construction of ultra-large-scale data centers.
The liquid-cooled data center has ultra-low noise and is environmentally friendly, and the use of waste heat can also create more economic value.

According to estimates by CCID Consulting, the application prospect of liquid cooling is broad, and my country's liquid cooling data center market will exceed 100 billion yuan in 2025.

However, for ICT, only relying on energy-saving and environmentally-friendly technologies such as liquid cooling is not enough to meet the zero-carbon challenge.
The introduction of green power is critical.
Renewable energy allows IT companies to transform from energy "consumers" to "producers" and increase the use of clean energy.

At present, about 41 technology companies in the world have set a long-term 100% renewable energy target.
In 2020, international technology giants have stepped up their efforts.
Amazon has acquired 35 wind and photovoltaic power plants, becoming the largest buyer of renewable energy to date.
Google proposes to achieve global real-time zero-carbon operations in 2030, transitioning the scope of zero-carbon statistics from years to hours; Microsoft said that it will achieve negative carbon emissions in 2030 and eliminate all historical carbon emissions of enterprises in 2050.

Tencent CEO Ma Huateng emphasized in his circle of friends, "It is expected that the largest proportion of the future will be the realization of data centers supported by native clean energy.
It is difficult, but always work hard.
" said Ye Ruiqi, director of the Greenpeace Climate and Energy Program: "We think Ma Huateng's comments clearly convey a signal that the use of renewable energy in data centers will be one of the most important means for the technology industry to move toward carbon neutrality.
"

With the development of digital technology and the traction of the goal of carbon neutrality, ICT technology is constantly merging and innovating.
Zhou Taoyuan said that the direction of mainstream solutions in the future should be to consider from the perspective of starting from the end, systematically and globally to improve energy efficiency, from site to computer room to intelligent operation and maintenance, to achieve a minimalist site and a minimalist computer room; data The center should be reconstructed from the four aspects of architecture, power supply, temperature control, and operation and maintenance, in order to improve operation and maintenance efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and shorten the construction period.

Wang Yi, member of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress and vice president of the Institute of Science and Technology Strategy Consulting of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the core content of achieving carbon neutrality and zero carbon is the development of renewable energy.
Build a high-proportion renewable energy system, strengthen top-level design, and design as a unified system with existing distributed energy systems, smart grids, future smart energy, etc.
, to reduce system costs and shape a new energy security pattern .
