Abstract

We consider the use of fuel cells for powering data centers, based on benefits in reliability, capital and operational costs, and reduced environmental emissions. Using fuel cells effectively in data centers introduces several challenges and we highlight key research questions for designing a fuel cell based data center power distribution system. We analyze a specific configuration in the design space to quantify the cost benefits for a large scale data center, for the most mature and commonly deployed fuel cell technology, achieving over 20% reduction in costs using conservative projections.
没有更多的电力基础设施:转向燃料电池供电的数据中心
基于可靠性、资本和运营成本以及减少环境排放方面的优势,我们考虑使用燃料电池为数据中心供电。在数据中心有效地使用燃料电池带来了一些挑战,我们强调了设计基于燃料电池的数据中心配电系统的关键研究问题。我们分析了设计空间中的特定配置,以量化大型数据中心的成本效益,对于最成熟和最常用的燃料电池技术,使用保守预测可以实现超过20%的成本降低。
