Two years ago, the worlds of energy generation and data centers were blissfully separate, for the most part. They existed mostly within their own spheres. Data center managers cared about power inside the data center. They had little interest in how it got there....

As we’ve previously discussed, cooling optimization is the process of making adjustments to the cooling system controls (such as raising temperature set points or reducing fan speeds). Therefore, the fan affinity laws (also simply referred to as “fan laws”) associated...

There has been a lot of talk over the past year about how much power will be needed to power AI-based data centers and serve generative AI (GenAI) applications like ChatGPT. Most estimates said the grid would be scores of GW short by 2030. Panic ensued about how new...

Data center cooling is one of the most important aspects of data center design and operation. With the increasing density of IT equipment, both effectively and efficiently cooling IT loads is becoming more challenging than ever. For air cooled equipment, effective...
