Vertiv Technology Helps Green Mountain Build a Global Sustainable Data Center
There are many unusual and unique data center projects in the global data center field. Green Mountain's SVG1 Rennes ø y data center located in Norway is one of them. The uniqueness of SVG1 Rennes ø y data center lies not only in its construction location within the mountain, but also in its sustainability.
There are many unusual and unique data center projects in the global data center field. Green Mountain's SVG1 Rennes ø y data center located in Norway is one of them. The uniqueness of SVG1 Rennes ø y data center lies not only in its construction location within the mountain, but also in its sustainability. The average annual PUE of the project operation is 1.18, and the optimal PUE can reach a maximum of 1.10. So, how has SVG1 Rennes ø y data center become one of the most reliable and sustainable data centers in the world?
A data center using fjord water as a cooling source
Founded in 2009 and registered in Stavanger, Norway, Green Mountain is committed to the design, construction and operation of the most sustainable data center. Its customer groups cover finance, medical, government, Internet, automobile and other industries. At present, Green Mountain Company has four data centers, three of which are located in Norway, including SVG1 Rennes ø y, DC2 Telemark, and DC3 Oslo.
The SVG1 Rennes ø y data center was built in 2013, transformed from an air raid shelter located deep in the mountains, with a usable space of 22600 square meters. The overall project consists of 6 mountain halls, each with a two-story data center, with a total power of 26MW.
As a representative data center in terms of sustainability, SVG1 Rennes ø y data center adopts 100% renewable hydropower, uses nearby fjords as cooling sources, stabilizes water temperature at 8 ℃, and is based on a closed-loop system, without the need for additional water. The generated waste heat can support onshore lobster farms and form energy recycling.
In addition to leveraging the power of nature, the application of energy-saving and reliable key infrastructure solutions is also an important factor for SVG1 Rennes ø y data centers to achieve green environmental protection and sustainable development. In the expansion of SVG1 Rennes ø y data center, Green Mountain Company applied the high-energy efficient thermal management solution provided by Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) technology.
Innovate data center cooling with leading solutions
When Green Mountain Company decided to implement the SVG1 Rennes ø y data center expansion project, the consideration for the cooling system application was the need for first-class manufacturers to provide reliable and energy-saving solutions to support the achievement of sustainable development goals. At the same time, it required on-site observation and experience of application products to determine whether product performance meets project requirements.
Vertiv technology, combined with the actual needs of the project, has provided the performance leading Vertiv for Green Mountain Company ™ Liebert ® PCW chilled water system. After observing and experiencing at the Vertiv Italian Experience Center, Green Mountain Company evaluated Vertiv ™ Liebert ® The advantages and performance of the PCW chilled water system have been highly recognized, and this product has been adopted in the project implementation.
The Vertiv Liebert PCW chilled water system ensures the reliability and sustainability of the SVG1 Rennes ø y data center:
● The system provides an additional 5MW of cooling capacity for the SVG1 Rennes ø y data center, ensuring its reliable operation.
● The application of the system has significantly improved the overall PUE level of SVG1 Rennes ø y data center, helping Green Mountain Company consolidate its commitment to sustainable development.
At the same time, Vertiv technology has successfully overcome the impact of SVG1 Rennes ø y data center's remote location on logistics transportation, and based on Vertiv ™ Liebert ® The advantages of PCW chilled water system in research and development design have enabled rapid product deployment.
Based on the excellent experience brought by Vertiv Liebert PCW chilled water system in terms of professionalism, relevant personnel from Green Mountain Company stated, "The SVG1 Rennes ø y data center will not be the last project of cooperation between Green Mountain and Vertiv Technology. When Green Mountain constructs other projects in Norway, it will still consider using Vertiv Technology's data center products and technology."
In fact, during the observation experience at the Vertiv Italian Experience Center, Green Mountain Company had already fulfilled this promise. At that time, while experiencing the performance of the Vertiv Liebert PCW chilled water system on site, Green Mountain Company also learned about the value points of the Vertiv Liebert EXL S1 Series UPS and deployed this product in the DC3 Oslo data center. At the same rated power, this product helps data centers save 60% of their footprint.
