As a result, data center developers are working toward innovative solutions to meet the growing energy demands of their facilities while also reducing their carbon footprint. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are emerging as a critical component of modern data center infrastructure.
Enter modern battery storage solutions. With the dramatic improvements in lithium-ion battery technology, large-scale battery systems have become viable for data center backup and energy optimization. Lithium-ion batteries offer fast response, high energy density, and dropping costs.
For example, a data center could charge its batteries at night when grid electricity is cheap or when its onsite solar energy array (if it has one) produces excess power, then discharge the batteries during afternoon peak hours to reduce drawing expensive grid power.
Utility-scale batteries enable data centers to deploy a range of energy strategies, from speeding up interconnection timelines to managing seamless power source transitions and ensuring power quality as onsite energy portfolios evolve.
Cabinet systems that use a modular, holistic approach to integrating thermal and power management facilitate cost-effective scalability for data centers to support increasing rack power densities while
