Key energy saving technologies in data centers – in real life! (Part 2)

The Uptime Institute’s Global Data Center Survey 2022 suggests that over the next five years, data centers should play a role in energy conservation and carbon reduction, rather than being a hindrance to it.

With this in mind, Huawei plans to change the way people used to plan, build and operate data centers during the construction. Huawei’s Dongguan Cloud Data Center T1 project makes noticeable progress in energy conservation and carbon reduction. Put into operation in 2019, the project’s PUE reached 1.28 in 2021.

In Part 1 of this article, we have seen how digital technology enablement contributed to the success of the T1 project. Today, we look at other advanced energy-savings technologies which were employed.

AI-based PUE optimization
The T1 project employs an AI-based iCooling solution to decrease the energy consumption of the cooling system, which typically uses over 30% of a data center’s energy. This solution constantly monitors the energy consumption of all cooling subsystems and delivers the most efficient cooling strategy based on factors like current IT load and outdoor temperature.

Green construction and material recycling
The construction of traditional data centers often results in a high amount of waste and excessive water and power consumption. To address these issues, the T1 project employs a prefabricated modular solution where core components and systems are manufactured and pre-tested in a factory before being delivered and assembled on-site like LEGOs. This approach significantly reduces water usage and construction waste by 80%, reduces carbon emissions by 90%, and recycles up to 85% of materials, promoting eco-friendly construction and maximizing resource recovery.

Efficient and energy-saving devices
As data centers consume a large amount of energy, the use of energy-efficient and energy-saving devices is crucial to reducing energy consumption. The Huawei FusionPower6000 is utilized for power supply and distribution, providing a single source of power for each row, which boosts end-to-end efficiency to 95.5%. The cooling system is equipped with high-performance fans and wet film humidifiers to enhance energy efficiency. Additionally, smart modules are arranged in the equipment room to divide cold and hot aisles, optimizing heat exchange efficiency.

By using energy-saving technology, data centers can reduce their impact on the environment, contribute to a more sustainable future, and demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility.

Key energy saving technologies in data centers – in real life! (Part 1)

Huawei’s Dongguan Cloud Data Center T1 project (T1 project for short) is among the two green data centers in China to have been selected as a typical application case of key energy-saving technologies 2021 by the National Energy Conservation Center for the large amounts of energy it has saved during operation. Put into operation in 2019, the project’s PUE reached 1.28 in 2021.

Today, we look at how digital technology enablement contributed to the success of the T1 project.

Due to insufficient simulation of air ducts and airflows at the design phase and backward onsite assembly and construction, traditional data centers have a higher PUE than the designed one. By contrast, the T1 project uses digital design, simulation, and manufacturing, reaching a designed PUE in actual operation.

Digital design
Thanks to the building information model (BIM) and the 3D digital twin technology, the pipeline collision experiments can be carried out automatically and pipeline interference can be identified in advance, improving design quality and reducing changes by 80%.
Digital simulation
Big data, cloud, AI algorithms are used to analyze multi-device working condition curves and full climate databases. On top of that, we use expertise to develop a 3D linkage simulation algorithm involving pressure, temperature field, and airflow, which improves the PUE design accuracy by 20%.
Digital manufacturing
Videos are issued through software to guide production, which ensures consistency between design and production. Besides, digital testing methods are used to keep the air leakage rate of air ducts under 1%, outperforming the industry average of 3%.

Next week, we will look at other advanced energy-savings technology which was employed in the T1 project.

Is zero-carbon data centers possible?

Data centers consume a great deal of energy and resources, and they are one place that many organizations seek to cut back – with the goal of eventually reaching net-zero carbon emissions. Globally, leading data center operators have committed to carbon neutrality and science-based targets for emissions reduction by 2030. The challenge is how to achieve this. Huawei has outlined four core trends for the future direction of data centers.

Sustainable:
Next-generation data center facilities will be fully green and energy-efficient while maximizing the recycling of all data center materials. In this way, the overall data center ecosystem will be eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable. Sustainable data centers can be achieved by utilizing green resources – electricity, land, and water – and maximizing the recycling of used materials throughout the life cycle. In addition to the extensively used Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), other metrics, including Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE), Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE), and Grid Usage Effectiveness (GUE) will also be used to measure data center sustainability.
Simplified:
Simplified architecture, power supply, and cooling embody the evolution of the data center facility. Simplified architecture brings innovative forms of buildings and equipment rooms. If the prefabricated modular construction mode is used to construct a 1000-rack data center, the construction period can be reduced from more than 18 months to 6–9 months. Simplified power supply reshapes components and links. It shortens the delivery period from 2 months to 2 weeks. Simplified cooling maximizes heat exchange efficiency by changing multiple heat exchanges to one heat exchange, and shortening the cooling link.
Autonomous Driving:
O&M automation, energy efficiency optimization, and operation autonomy reshape the management of data centers’ operation and maintenance. O&M automation enables engineers to complete the inspection of 2000 racks in 5 minutes remotely. The energy efficiency optimization means an optimal cooling strategy can be delivered via 1.4 million original combinations within 1 minute, achieving smart cooling. Operation autonomy maximizes the value of resources.
Reliable:
Proactive security and secure architecture ensure high quality and sustainable development of data centers. Proactive security means using big data and AI technologies to implement predictive maintenance from components to data centers, based on the visibility and perception of all domains in the data centers. Automatic fault response means it will take only 1 minute to spot a fault, 3 minutes to analyze, and 5 minutes to recover. Secure architecture means security will be ensured at various levels, such as components, devices, and systems. At the system level, the E2E visualizable, manageable, and controllable platform enables the system availability to reach 99.999%.

Solving the challenge of growing demand for data with low-carbon solutions, Huawei’s next-gen simplified, green, intelligent, and secure data center infrastructure solution is only one of the solutions. Reducing carbon emissions is essential for the industry and an area in which innovation focuses on converging software and hardware as well as cross-product-domain collaboration. With so many technical innovations, expertise and best practice at our disposal, the journey to zero-carbon data center is now achievable.
