At the China Intelligent Computing Ecological Development Conference hosted by the China IDC Circle, Jiang Ying, the head of digital business for ABB Electric's distribution system in China, pointed out that there are three main ways for data centers to be green and low-carbon: first, energy green and clean; The second is to achieve precise matching between the source and the load; The third is low-carbon operation and sustainable carbon reduction.
Data centers belong to high energy consuming industries. In the face of energy transformation and transformation, how can data centers achieve green and low-carbon development?
Consider building distributed photovoltaics in the energy side data center to increase the proportion of renewable energy access. However, the building area available for photovoltaic construction in data centers is usually very limited, which cannot effectively promote the transformation and development of data center greening. Realize lean transformation of data center source and load through "mutual assistance and sharing", optimize the phased deployment capability of backup power supply through the "diesel generator mutual assistance" method, and effectively reduce the overall investment cost of diesel generator units.
Through the digital IEC61850/GOOSE redundant networking communication architecture of the entire site, rapid switching of key power sources within 1 minute can be achieved, and precise matching between sources and loads can be achieved through digital regulation technology, effectively simplifying the configuration of high redundancy heavy assets in data center distribution systems, constructing a lightweight data center distribution system structure, and improving the efficient utilization of assets.

What is the path for data centers to achieve green and low-carbon development?
The data center has undergone approximately four stages of transformation,
The first stage pursued by data centers in 2012 was power supply safety and reliability;
Starting from 2016, we have been considering the improvement of Power Usage Efficiency (PUE);
In 2021, the construction of the East West Computing Cluster promotes the coordinated optimization between energy and computing power;
So far, with the process of sustainability, building green and low-carbon data centers has become the main goal.
There are three main ways for data centers to achieve green and low-carbon development:
Firstly, adjust the energy structure, increase the proportion of renewable energy investment, and achieve green and clean energy;
Secondly, achieve precise matching between data center sources and loads through "mutual assistance and sharing";
Thirdly, low-carbon operation and sustainable carbon reduction.
