Critical Infrastructure (incorporating Data Centres North) Exhibition 2019

Clarke Energy will be sponsoring the Critical Infrastructure Manchester (incorporating Data Centres North) on 1st May 2019 at The Lowry Hotel, Manchester, UK. The new one-day event retains the best of the Data Centres North show but now expands the profile to appeal to a wider audience.

High energy users such as data centres are realising the potential benefits of deploying gas-fuelled combined heat and power (CHP) plants in the UK. For data centres as there is a primary requirement for cooling rather than heating – combined cooling and power (CCP) – using absorption chillers to convert surplus heat to cold water that can be utilised in their process. This trigeneration technology enables the data centre to reduce operational costs, carbon emissions and in parallel generate stable supplies of power that can be relied upon. Gas engine based captive power plants not only offer the ability to deliver energy security, they can also improve energy efficiency and environmental performance.

A data centre project undertaken by Clarke Energy is Citibank Data Centre, which was one of the first of its kind due to The UK Green Investment Bank (GIB) backing its first project in the financial services sector. The investment was made by GIB’s fund manager Sustainable Development Capital (SDCL). The project will reduce Citi’s costs and its greenhouse gas emissions. It will make a meaningful contribution to reducing the data centre’s running costs. The CCP system will generate 71% of the electricity needed to power the data centre in Lewisham, London. It will also provide cooling for the servers housed in the data centre. Citi currently uses mains electricity from the national grid and relies on back-up diesel generators.

Visit Clarke Energy on stand 8 at Critical Infrastructure Manchester (incorporating Data Centres North) to discuss any queries on combined heat and power (CHP) and trigeneration.
