A new opportunity for data centre power infrastructure.
Instead of just demanding power, data centres can now support the grid and be compensated for it. Eaton’s EnergyAware UPS allows organisations to make money from their existing investment in a UPS by enabling them to help energy providers balance sustainable energy demands. Large data centre operators, such as colocation and cloud service providers, can be compensated for immediate adjustments to power consumption that help the grid avoid power outages, without compromising critical loads.
Earn from energy.
A greener data centre system.
Renewable energy is harder to predict and production can be more volatile – making it harder for energy providers to balance electricity supply.
Data centres can support energy providers by:
Adapting to renewable energy demands and providing a flexible power reserve
Balancing the power reserve without using fossil fuels in order to contribute to green energy
Helping energy producers to take hydro power out of reserve and use it for energy production
