STABILISING THE POWER GRIDS OF SPANISH ISLANDS DURING A KEY ENERGY TRANSITION
Red Eléctrica, the Redeia company responsible for the transmission and operation of the Spanish electricity system (TSO), has awarded ABB four orders for synchronous condensers (also known as synchronous compensators or SC) to strengthen the electricity grid, increase the quality of supply and boost the energy transition of the Canary and Balearic Islands.
The integrated solution, which also includes electrical and automation equipment, will play an important role in maintaining the stability, reliability and continuity of island grids as they integrate higher levels of renewable energy to meet Spain’s energy transition goals. ABB’s integrated technology will provide the inertia and short-circuit current needed to maintain power supply on the islands under these new conditions.
The project is part of the Network Development Plan 2021 – 2026. The function of the project is to allow the integration of 67 % of renewable energy into the generation mix, advancing the objectives of Spain’s 2021-2030 Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (Spanish PNIEC).
The PNIEC aims for a 32% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to 1990 and an 81 % penetration of renewable energy resources in the electricity system.
“
SYNCHRONOUS CONDENSERS WILL BOOST ENERGY IN THE CANARY & BALEARIC ISLANDS.”
According to data from Red Eléctrica, renewable energies exceeded 50 % of the Spanish generation mix in 2023.
The advance of the energy transition in both archipelagos poses a challenge for the system operator which makes it necessary to reinforce the grid to maintain its balance and ensure reliable and resilient operations. ABB is collaborating with Red Eléctrica to deploy an integrated solution through synchronous condensers, rotating electrical machines that mimic the operation of large generators to help stabilise the grid when loads and available energy production fluctuate. Services provided by SCs include inertia, short-circuit current and reactive power for voltage regulation.
Three of the synchronous condenser’s orders will be deployed in the Canary Islands, where Red Eléctrica is also executing projects to continue advancing in the energy transition, such as the Salto de Chira, or the Tenerife-La Gomera interconnection. In the Balearic Islands, where all the islands are connected to each other and to the mainland grid from Mallorca, another SC will be installed.
ABB will provide a complete and integrated solution, ranging from initial system studies to detailed engineering of the electrical and automation equipment, and installation of the synchronous condensers solution, integrated with flywheel, project management.

GAS TURBINES: IMPORTANT CONVERSION TECHNOLOGY FOR THE FUTURE
Energy systems are undergoing fundamental changes across the world, driven by three key trends: decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation, reports ERTN Global of Brussels, Belgium.
Decentralised power generation, intelligent power grids, overall system integration, unconventional fuels and, of course, renewable energy sources (RES) are at the top of the energy agenda.
On a global scale the pressing needs to cut CO2 emissions as well as local air pollution is resulting in an accelerated phase-out of coal-fired power plants and increased investments in clean energy technologies. Digital solutions are being developed and become available on a widespread basis, transforming energy systems to make them smarter, more reliable, more interconnected, safer and, above all, more efficient.
Despite the renewable boom, it is foreseen (e.g. by the International Energy Agency (IEA)) that conventional gas-fired power generation, currently the largest gas-consuming sector worldwide, will continue to play a strategic role.
It will provide a reliable and cost effective, dispatchable power source to respond to peaks in demand and when intermittent renewable sources are not available, and its underlying technology can also provide carbon neutral solutions for power generation and mechanical drive in the longer term.
How the money stacks up
New research by Fortune Business insights suggests that the global gas turbine market size was valued at USD$20.79 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from US$ 21.86 billion in 2024 to US$29.36 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.76% during the forecast period.
A gas turbine can be defined as a combustion turbine which is a type of continuous and internal combustion engine. It consists of a combustor, an upstream rotating gas compressor, and a downstream turbine on the same shaft as a compressor. There is one more component called turbo fans that is used mainly to increase efficiency and to convert power into either electric or mechanical form. These turbines are very effective and are replacing the traditional gas-fired or oil-fired power plant with combine cycle power plant using such turbines primarily running on natural gas.
In mid-2024 manufacturers are focusing on innovations such as advanced cooling technologies, improved materials, and optimized combustion systems,
The global gas turbine market size is valued at USD$20.79 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from US$ 21.86 billion in 2024 to US$29.36 billion by 2032.
“ADVANCEMENTS IN MATERIALS AND DIAGNOSTICS ARE ENHANCING THE RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY OF GAS TURBINES, LEADING TO LONGER OPERATING LIFESPANS.”
turbines. This translates to lower fuel consumption and operating costs, making them more competitive.
Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPPs) featuring both gas and steam turbines are constantly being improved, reaching ultra-high efficiency levels exceeding 60%.
Developments in lean pre-mixing and dry low-NOx (DLN) combustors are minimizing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Research on hydrogenfuelled gas turbines holds immense potential for near-zero emissions power generation, aligning with stricter environmental regulations.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies are being explored to capture and store CO2 emissions from gas turbines, further reducing their environmental impact.
Advancements in materials and diagnostics are enhancing the reliability and durability of gas turbines, leading to longer operating lifespans
and reduced downtime. New designs and control systems are making gas turbines more flexible, allowing them to adapt to the fluctuating electricity demand and integrate with renewable energy sources.
The demand for electricity is increasing globally and governments are highly focused on decreasing the consumption of fossil fuels as they increase emissions around the world.
The governments of several countries are currently replacing coal-fired steam plants and combined cycle power plants with such turbines.
These turbines consume natural gas as their primary fuel. The conclusion is that gas-based power produce less greenhouse gases.

THE ENERGY TRANSITION - MORE COMPLEX THAN THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
The global energy transition to a cleaner, greener future is one of the most complex challenges of the twenty-first century and the biggest stepchange since the industrial revolution began in the mid-18th Century, writes Andy Normand, Business Development Director at Encora Energy.
A linear transition is not going to happen as it did in the industrial revolution. Our current energy transition requires several huge step-changes to happen at once.
Unlike other major societal changes, the energy transition has a unique set of complications which requires us to be innovative and collaborative to work through. However, with continued focus and great innovation in this sector, this complexity is unleashing exciting new opportunities in how we use energy to underpin our economy.
A complex world economy has grown up on the back of a stable energy industry; there is the need and expectation that our entire way of life depends on energy of the right sort and the right quality on a 24hour, seven days-per-week basis to ensure people have sufficient power when they need it.
Energy systems are not only critical for powering factories and industries but also for transportation, communication and virtually every aspect of modern life. Changing energy sources or infrastructure requires a myriad of interconnected systems.
Not only do we rely on this, but we also expect it to keep increasing too, nowhere more so than the electrical power grid.
We need more generation to meet an expected huge rise in demand, as more electric vehicles hit the road, the large-scale rollout of heat pumps into homes continues, and the use of data centres to store vast quantities of information and facilitate
AI innovation demands large amounts of power. Even conservative estimates of electricity use in the UK have peak demand rising from around 60GW now to over 100GW in 2050.
Making this switch and keeping up with rising demand would be hard enough, but this is not just a case of taking out the old technologies and replacing them with the new.
Coal power was dirty and polluting and has been almost entirely eradicated from the UK energy mix, but it was stable, easy to turn up and down, and was perfect for keeping the electricity grid running smoothly.
By contrast, the major new power source of offshore wind is intermittent, hard to control and unstable.
This one major technology change is only facilitated by a whole range of other changes to store energy and stabilise the grid, ensuring we can still guarantee that when you flip the switch day or night you will have power of voltage, frequency and quality exactly as you need.
The global nature of the energy industry generally adds another layer of complexity in the modern energy transition. The energy landscape is deeply influenced by global trade, geopolitics and international agreements.
Unlike the industrial revolution, where developments were more localised (at least initially), the energy revolution requires coordinated efforts and co-operation among nations to address thorny issues such as climate change, energy security and access to energy resources.
As ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East suggest, this is not an easy task.
There are vast differences in social and cultural norms across the world so gaining consensus on big ticket issues, such as energy consumption and production, is unsurprisingly fraught with difficulties.
Transitioning to new energy sources or technologies requires not only technological advancements but also changes in behaviour, lifestyle and societal structures.
All this complexity can be daunting and a reason to shy away from the problem, to pretend it doesn’t exist or that it is not as complicated as it really is.
There is a desire to properly understand it, by reducing it to simplicity that can be dealt with and a clear solution that we can all agree on so we can just get on with the business of rolling it out.
With any new advance or suggestion there are a range of commentaries championing the advantages, countered by others giving a damning indictment of the flaws.
The truth, however, is that there are some broad trends, but very few silver bullets and a wide range of effective but niche applications.
Far from being a problem, this complexity provides opportunities to interact with the energy market to find innovative ways that industries, companies and individuals can make best use of.
The complexity of the energy transition has uncovered new ways for individuals and organisations to interact with the energy industry and make the opportunities.
This is happening across all areas and at a range of scale from the large, such as the creation of whole new industries centred around hydrogen, down to the small changes in homes, offices and local
businesses such as solar panels on roofs, home batteries, smart connected Internet of Things (IOT) devices saving energy, demand-side response and combined heat and power (CHP) plants.
While the number of ways that changes are happening are varied, there are some broad categories. There are new opportunities to be found in optimising the interactions of power, heat and cooling. In the industrial revolution the limitations of generating power from heat was discovered, but now we are exploring ways to use this understanding to maximise energy use such as CHP systems in hotels, offices and factories, and using waste heat from data centres to heat swimming pools. New pressures on energy use have made investing in energy efficiency an important opportunity.
By putting an end to wastage, improving insulation, upgrading to low-efficiency equipment, and just having equipment that turns off when not required, especially when supported by data technology, we can find new opportunities.
Overall, while the industrial revolution brought about profound changes to human society, the global energy transition presents even greater complexities & challenges due to the interconnectedness of modern systems, technological diversity, globalisation, environmental concerns, social and cultural considerations, resource constraints, and the need for effective policy and regulatory frameworks.
Addressing these complexities will require concerted efforts from various stakeholders across the world if we are to have a cleaner, well-functioning energy system by 2050, but will also release many new opportunities to benefit those who use them. www.encora.energy

NEW BIOFUEL COULD BE A DROP-IN REPLACEMENT FOR FOSSIL FUELS IN GENSETS
Following successful external trials, Indo-Danish carbon removal company MASH Makes has launched a new technological solution to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries, starting with shipping.
Recent tests have demonstrated MASH Makes wastebased biofuel’s viability as a ‘drop-in’ replacement for fossil fuels in the sector. In collaboration with leading global shipping company NORDEN, it will now be trialled in live vessels.
These trials represent a key milestone in the transition to net zero, with biofuel now poised to play a key role in decarbonising shipping and heavy industry.
Shipping facilitates over 80% of global trade and uses more than 330 million tonnes of fossil fuel every year, accounting for over 3% of carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions annually – more than all of Germany.
Achieving climate goals is impossible without decarbonising this global economic lynchpin, and it has proven difficult to achieve this using the go-to technologies of the green transition.
MASH Makes developed its biofuel to address this challenge and decouple the industry’s growth from carbon emissions.
Produced from agricultural industry by-products like cashew nut shells, it is the most sustainable option and production can be rapidly scaled to meet the vast supply shortfall, with its use avoiding 90% of greenhouse gas emissions.
The company will use its proprietary thermochemical process to transform a wide range of ‘waste’ products into energy and carbon removal solutions to deliver positive environmental impact at the gigaton-level. Alongside biofuel, its technology can produce hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, and biochar with each playing a vital part in industrial decarbonisation efforts.
Henrik Røjel, Head of Decarbonisation & Climate Solutions at NORDEN, says: “These results confirm the quality of MASH Makes’ biofuel as a viable new sustainable fuel. We’re excited to be part of this journey together with MASH Makes’ and provide new
sustainable fuel options which will support decarbonisation in critical industries.”
Jakob Andersen, CEO of MASH Makes, said: “When we started developing this fuel, industry looked at us like we were trying to turn water into wine, but here we are today with external validation test results that show we have a plug-and- play sustainable fuel for industry – in large part because of our novel technological approach.
“These results represent a paradigm shift for sustainable fuels and a glimmer of hope for other industries struggling to find viable solutions for the green transition.”
MASH Makes’ recent three-season field trial of its biochar demonstrated a 21% average increase in crop yield per season.
MASH Makes first focused on the cashew nut value chain to produce biofuel and biochar, due to the scale of waste in that sector – 70% of each cashew nut’s weight is currently discarded or used as low-grade solid fuel.
The company’s first plant in Karnataka, India is already capable of processing 23,700 tonnes of agricultural waste annually, and other larger plants are in development throughout India and Vietnam.
WHEN WE STARTED DEVELOPING THIS FUEL, INDUSTRY LOOKED AT US LIKE WE WERE TRYING TO TURN WATER INTO WINE, BUT HERE WE ARE TODAY WITH EXTERNAL VALIDATION TEST RESULTS THAT SHOW WE HAVE A PLUG-AND -PLAY SUSTAINABLE FUEL FOR INDUSTRY – IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF OUR NOVEL TECHNOLOGICAL APPROACH.”
MASH Makes technology provides a win-win for the shipping and agricultural industries, as well as farmers who are already hardpressed by the effects of climate change. That is because the company also uses agricultural by-products to produce biochar, which improves soil fertility and permanently removes carbon emissions from the atmosphere.
Biochar is a potential game changer for the environment, sequestering carbon that would otherwise have been released into the atmosphere as farm waste decomposes and producing a product that can be used to aid soils.
In recognition of its innovative approach and scalable solutions, MASH Makes has recently been announced as a Top 20 finalist for XPRIZE Carbon Removal, and now moves on to compete for a US$50 million prize.
MASH Makes is on an ambitious growth journey. Its goal is to remove more than a gigaton of carbon from the atmosphere by 2040. In reaching this goal, the company will look to apply its proprietary thermochemical process to produce new alternative fuels to decarbonise additional hard-to-abate industries, including the power generating sector and the shipping & chemical industries. www.mashmakes.com
CHANGING THE SUSTAINABILITY AGENDA: A BLUEPRINT FOR A BETTER FUTURE
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the ‘blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all’.
They address a range of issues from education to eliminating hunger to affordable clean energy and avoiding wasting water, with the aim of achieving them all by 2030. However, it seems unlikely we will meet these goals within the next six years, writes John Kreyling, Business Development Director, Centiel. What is more likely, is that just before the deadline, organisations will go into overdrive, scrambling to try and achieve some relevant goals.
But this will all be too little, too late. Human nature is one of procrastination and unless individuals and organisations are forced to change when the problem stares them in the face, they do very little.
However, the sustainability agenda has changed. Electricity prices have rocketed in recent years, and director’s bonuses are now linked to sustainability targets.
For the first time in history saving money (or making money in the case of bonuses) goes hand in hand with reducing power usage and becoming more environmentally-friendly.
So how can the power protection industry take steps towards a more sustainable future (UPS are particularly power hungry) where everyone will win?
We may not hit the UN’s SDGs by 2030 but if we start changing habits now, we will have a dramatic impact on reducing electricity consumption and becoming more sustainable by accessing greener renewable sources. As a manufacturer Centiel has spent the past four years developing its sustainable UPS StratusPowerTM.
It’s not just about the product’s energy efficiency but we have looked at circular manufacturing. How we source, transport and manufacture products with extended lives which last longer and can be recycled at end of life.
We have also looked at the UN’s sustainability goals and identified several which are relevant to our manufacturing processes and use these to guide our product development and put positive pressure on our suppliers to do the same. This is key, there is no real value in working in isolation. Whole supply chains need to work together to adopt more sustainable approaches and be rewarded for that.
AT CENTIEL WE HAVE LOOKED AT THE WAY WE MANUFACTURE OUR UPS TO MAKE THEM MORE EFFICIENT. OUR SUSTAINABLE MODULAR UPS STRATUSPOWER OFFERS THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF AVAILABILITY AND HAS AN ON-LINE EFFICIENCY OF 97.6%.
However, not all organisations think along these lines. Legislation and incentives need to be introduced industry wide to encourage a more sustainable approach. However, this cannot be just a tick box exercise, the industry must implement real change. In the end, money talks and legislation and incentives need to be leveraged more to inspire the progress towards the more sustainable future which we desperately need.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) in their Energy 24 report https:// www.iea.org/reports/electricity-2024, states that electricity consumption from datacentres could double within the next two years.
It is inevitable that facilities will not be able to rely on the grid in the future and will need to look at renewable energy sources to accommodate increased power demands. Facilities will need to be designed to maximise energy efficiency from the outset. Flat roofs can be used to take advantage of solar energy. There may be space for wind turbines in large grounds?
The good news is that change is starting to happen. Reported in the Irish Independent, in a strategy to decarbonise operations at its Dublin data centres, one data centre has already signed a ten-year agreement with a renewable energy company to supply 81% of the current power needed over the ten years of the deal.
At Centiel we have looked at the
way we manufacture our UPS to make them more efficient. Our sustainable modular UPS StratusPowerTM offers the highest levels of availability and has on-line efficiency of 97.6%.
Its 30-year design life means components need to be replaced less often, offering the potential to make a real impact on any data centre’s sustainability goals.
StratusPower is also already hardware enabled, and with adaptations to the software/firmware, it is future-ready to accept alternative energy sources. UPS systems have large battery banks so configured correctly with LiFePO4 batteries known for their cycling ability, StratusPower has the potential to become a microgrid or energy hub, storing and delivering energy into the facility when required.
We may not meet the UN’s SDGs by 2030 but any steps towards a more sustainable future should be championed. As an expanding population drawing on limited resources we need to prioritise doing what we can.
Centiel’s expert team of trusted advisors, work hand-in-hand with organisations to advise about the most efficient UPS systems which can now take advantage of alternative energy sources while carefully managing total cost of ownership, avoiding risk and not compromising on availability.

ENERGY FROM THE HAPPURG PUMPED STORAGE PLANT WILL REACH THE GRID IN 2028
Uniper has taken the decision to re-commission its pumped storage plant in Happurg, east of Nuremberg. The company is investing around €250 million to help build a reliable energy infrastructure in Bavaria. The plant is scheduled to return to the grid in 2028.
This investment is part of Uniper’s previously announced strategy to invest in growth and transformation towards a greener business.
Uniper wants 80 % of its generation capacity to be carbon neutral by 2030, and the Happurg pumped storage plant will be an important strategic part of that.
This is the point where the energy transition often reaches its limits – in the actual reliability of power generation. This is especially in southern Germany, with its strong industrial demand; there is a lack of predictable power plant capacity. With the Happurg plant, it will make more storage capacity available.
The 160 MW power plant has a drop height of 209 m and can store approximately 850 MWh of electricity in the form of pumped water.
This makes it the largest pumped storage plant in Bavaria. The plant was shut down in 2011 as a precautionary measure for safety reasons due to localised damage at the base of the upper reservoir.
Since then, intensive subsoil investigations and geotechnical assessments have been carried out and various remediation approaches have been examined.
Based on these findings, a feasibility study was conducted to develop and refine a technical concept for the rehabilitation of the upper basin, which will allow the plant to be restarted economically.
“
This concept was reviewed and approved by the responsible authority, the District Office of Nuremberg, as part of a planning approval procedure. As part of the overall project, the equipment in the powerhouse will also be overhauled. Construction work will start immediately and, if all goes well, the
Happurg pumped storage plant will be back in operation in 2028. Uniper is a German multinational energy company based in Düsseldorf, Germany and has been a stateowned enterprise since late 2022. It is said to be the biggest energy company by revenue in the world. www.uniper.energy
WITH UNIPER’S HAPPURG PLANT AN INCREASED STORAGE CAPACITY WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. THE 160 MW POWER PLANT HAS A DROP HEIGHT OF 209 M AND CAN STORE AROUND 850 MWH OF ELECTRICITY IN THE FORM OF PUMPED WATER. THIS MAKES IT THE LARGEST PUMPED STORAGE PLANT IN BAVARIA. THE PLANT WAS SHUT DOWN IN 2011 AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE FOR SAFETY REASONS DUE TO LOCALISED DAMAGE AT THE BASE OF THE UPPER RESERVOIR. SINCE THEN, INTENSIVE SUBSOIL INVESTIGATIONS AND GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENTS WERE CARRIED OUT.”

The CIS Tower in Manchester
As of 2022, the CIS Tower is known as an office skyscraper in Manchester. It is the tenth-tallest building
and the second-tallest office building in the UK. It stayed as it was as built for over 40 years until maintenance on the service tower required an extensive renovation, which included covering three sides of the skyscraper’s façade in solar panels.
Standing at 122 metres tall, it is currently Europe’s largest vertical solar array.
The electricity generated contributes to powering the building’s 25 floors where over 4,000 people work, and numerous restaurants can be found.
Exactly 5,000 solar panels cover 3,200 square metres with a total output of 391kW, generating 180,000kWh of electricity.
The CIS Tower has significance to Perfect Sense Energy’ as a company. Its Managing Director, Gary Brandwood, used to work in the CIS Tower and was working in one of the offices when the vertical solar array was installed onto the building.
In 2006, the demand for solar panels was relatively low, however, the CIS Tower installation sparked Gary’s interest in Solar PV.
After the financial crash in 2009, Gary decided to change direction and dedicate the rest of his career to fighting climate change.
Gary founded Perfect Sense Energy
in 2010 and he says he has not looked back ever since.
“I am truly grateful to those pioneers who decided to pursue the sustainability path at the Co-operative Group before it was fashionable,” he explains.
He concludes: “ Without these people taking the lead, Perfect Sense Energy and our group of companies, Energise Contracting, ASG Energy Services, CORE Access Solutions and The Purpose Project would not be where they are today.”

STORED ENERGY SYSTEMS & THE WYOMING HYPERSCALE WHITE BOX DATA CENTRE
In a remote location just below the north face of Aspen Mountain in Wyoming, there’s a futuristic greenfield data centre project which combines an array of forward-leaning strategies, including immersion cooling, renewable energy, a geothermal aquifer for heat exchange, prefabricated construction, carbon impact tracking and reusing waste heat to support an indoor farm.
The Wyoming Hyperscale White Box data centre is based near Evanston, Wyoming and represents a blueprint for creating super-efficient data centre with low impact on the environment and benefits for the local community.
To bring this vision to life, Wyoming Hyperscale team has assembled a team of experienced data centre companies.
“With our forward-thinking partners, we are setting the new standard for mission critical facilities with this sustainable data centre ecosystem,” said Trenton Thornock, the founder and managing member of Wyoming Hyperscale White Box.
“Traditional development practices need to be reimagined. We need to get our heads out of the box, so data centres are looked at as a community asset, not as something taking up community resources and water.”
Thornock said that the concept has generated enough interest that Wyoming Hyperscale is planning additional 30-megawatt data centre projects in Tucson and Phoenix.
“Everything we’re doing here in Wyoming translates to other places,” said Thornock. “Because we have no HVAC systems, we don’t need concrete walls. Metal clear span construction takes less time and can be recycled. This kind of facility is less expensive to operate, and the tenant gets more compute.”
The project plans to track the carbon impact of its construction activities and operations and share the data on a public website.
Wyoming Hyperscale is among a group of developments seeking to pioneer new approaches to data centre design to reduce their impact on the environment and community.
These designs feature exceptional efficiency and seek to integrate features like on-site renewable energy, microgrids, grid-interactive UPS systems, waterless cooling, waste heat reuse, nickel-zinc batteries, and onsite recycling of construction materials and equipment.
As the data centre industry faces growing scrutiny about its climate action, the end goal should be a “regenerative data centre,” according to Steven Carlini, Vice President of Innovation and Data Centre for Schneider Electric.
“The ultimate goal is a self-sustaining data centre defined by renewable power generation onsite, water neutrality, and 100% circular materials eliminating all landfill waste,” explains Carlini.
The Wyoming project is one of the most ambitious efforts in this direction, using immersion cooling to eliminate much of the infrastructure used with traditional air-cooled data centre. Using immersion enables extreme density, efficiency and sustainability, according to John Gross, the President of J.M. Gross Engineering.
“There are processors now that are at 700 watts a socket,” said Gross. “There are companies working on
processors that will be 1.5 kW a socket. You can’t cool that with air. There is a technology shift that’s happening and it is driving us towards liquid cooling.”
Cooling specialist Submer is providing the immersion cooling technology, in which servers are dunked in tanks of cooling fluid to manage rising heat densities.
This approach also has the potential to slash the cost of data centre infrastructure, allowing users to operate servers without a raised floor, computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units or chillers.
This also has benefits for energy efficiency. Wyoming Hyperscale expects to operate at a PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of just 1.08, with a water usage effectiveness of 0.0all with Tier III resiliency.
“A lot of the things were talking about are enabled by the liquid cooling and heat design,” said Gross. “This is an all-in PUE.”
The wilds of Wyoming may seem an odd place for huge data centre.
But the site sits on a major east-west fibre highway that tracks the 41st
parallel, along which data centre hubs have emerged in places like Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska and Utah.
The Union-Pacific Railroad line, which provides key right-of-ways for fibre deployment, runs through nearby Aspen Mountain. Lumen will provide networking and security services for the project.
The data centre is being built on land owned by Thornock’s family, which has been involved in ranching for six generations.
The location benefits from ready access to renewable energy from nearby wind and solar farms.
Wyoming Hyperscale has a contract with Rocky Mountain Power for 120 megawatts of power and a 138 kV substation, which is fed by the same switchgear as the renewable energy generation sites.
“The way that we’ve approached this development is probably different from most data centre,” said Thornock. “We wanted to avoid using water. that’s become a very big issue in the entire Colorado River Basin.”

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTERS REMAIN A KEY ITEM FOR THE POWER GENERATION SECTOR
Made by RYPOS INC, Rypos diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are in a class by themselves. Unlike competing products, the DPFs are said to be built with active filtration technology.
This allows them to automatically self-clean without operator intervention and without affecting engine performance.
The ability to clean (regenerate) without relying on elevated exhaust gas temperatures allows design flexibility, meaning the filter can be remote from the engine.
The filters are sized on exhaust gas flow, we have product for a wide range of engines and inlet/outlet configurations for any application.
Rypos DPFs are also the most reliable solution and have the lowest total cost of ownership, reducing diesel particulate matter emissions by up to 95%, protecting local communities from harmful health effects, and mitigating effects on climate change.
“
DIESEL EMISSIONS CONTAIN CARCINOGENIC PARTICULATE MATTER THAT NOT ONLY NEGATIVELY AFFECTS RESPIRATORY AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH, BUT ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO CLIMATE CHANGE. RYPOS HAS OVER 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DEVELOPING CUTTING-EDGE
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) SYSTEMS WHICH ELIMINATE UP TO 95% OF PARTICULATE EMISSIONS.
Diesel emissions contain carcinogenic particulate matter that not only negatively affects respiratory and cardiovascular health, but also contributes to climate change.
Rypos has over 25 years of experience developing cutting-edge diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems which eliminate up to 95% of particulate emissions.
If your application uses mobile or stationary diesel engines, its active DPFs can help you improve your sustainability efforts and achieve compliance with air quality regulations, reports the company.
Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are exhaust-treatment devices that can be fitted to a wide variety of engines. DPFs trap harmful pollutants and prevent them from reaching the atmosphere, where they can cause significant environmental damage and impact to human health.
Unlike passive DPFs, active DPFs are self-cleaning. This cleaning, also known as regeneration, is automatic regardless of exhaust temperatures.
Other filter manufacturers claim to have active regeneration, the Rypos’ active DPF - says the companymaximises the safety, reliability and uptime of your engines and generators.
Competitor systems require additional loads on the genset and extended run times resulting in
increased fuel costs for filter cleaning.
The Rypos’ active DPFs efficiently burn soot accumulated in the filter at 700°C in under 3 minutes while using less than 1% of the generator output.
Heaters or load banks are not required to elevate exhaust temperatures for filter cleaning. Facility owner and operators can be confident in the availability of their emergency systems.
Passive filters have cleaning limitations. These filters are only able to regenerate under conditions where the generator is allowed to run long enough to elevate the exhaust temperatures, reports the company.
When specific exhaust temperatures are not met the filter will eventually plug up with soot and engine back pressure will increase beyond acceptable limits, leading the engine to shut down and eventually fail.
Facility operators must follow passive filter service guidelines, particularly related to counting cold starts, for proper operation. All Rypos products are active, self-cleaning DPFs that require minimal maintenance. These energy-efficient units reduce DPM emissions up to 95% and are CARB Level 3+ Verified (Marine Pending Level 3+).

HIGH CAPACITY PCB POWER RELAYSHAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FOR INDUSTRY
Omron’s series of high-capacity power relays is designed specifically for high-voltage DC circuits requiring high reliability, such as those used in renewable energy systems and electric vehicle bidirectional charging. Omron recently introduced its G9KB PCB power relays designed for high-voltage DC circuits.
The G9KB series comes in various configurations and ratings, supporting up to 600 VDC and 50 A (standard model) and up to 800 VDC and 100 A (high-capacity model).
The development focuses on low contact resistance. To minimize this specification, Omron designed the family with silver alloy contacts, allowing the series to guarantee a contact resistance of 5 mΩ or less.
Reliability is not sacrificed at the expense of contact resistance, reports the company, as the G9KB series is rated at temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C and can withstand 600 VDC 1 A for 100,000 operations minutes. The G9KB series is said to be best suited for applications including stationary energy storage systems, power conditioners for energy storage, battery management systems, and rapid EV chargers. omron.co.uk
PORTABLE GENERATOR UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Estonian hydrogen technology company PowerUP
Energy Technologies is collaborating with Norwegian partners Nordic Batteries AS and Beyonder AS to introduce the UPMobile to the market.
The project, supported by the Estonia-Norway c-operation program “Green ICT”, seeks to create a portable, 10,000 W generator composed of a hydrogen fuel cell and a lithium-ion super battery that can supply clean energy to high-energy demand industries, such as the construction and mining sectors.
“The construction sector is one of the most polluting industries, where no good alternative to diesel fuel has been found. At the same time, the European Union has set ambitious goals for mitigating the sector’s environmental impact and reducing carbon dioxide emissions,” said Ivar Kruusenberg, founder of PowerUP Energy Technologies. powerup-tech.
NEW UPS SYSTEM IS NOW AVAILABLE
New from Emerson is the D series extension to its SolaHD family of industrial rack-mount, on-line uninterruptible power supplies. The S4K2UD series replaces the current C series and offers an upgraded user interface (UI) and other key design improvements to enhance reliability and power availability.
A UPS designed to ensure power continuity to critical loads, such as servers, networking, and telecommunication hardware, the SolaHD S4K2UD is designed to support systems a during a disruption or loss of external utility power due to blackouts, brownouts, sags, surges, or noise interference.
An on-line design means the supply receives and delivers utility power during normal operation, as opposed to standby systems, which are connected only during a power loss event. An on-line UPS can transfer power from the main (utility) to a backup power source (batteries) with essentially no delay, minimizing impacts to critical and potentially sensitive downstream loads.
Under normal operation, the S4K2UD receives input line power at 120 VAC or 230 VAC (S4K2U30005-D variant), 50/60 Hz and outputs a single-phase, user-configurable 100, 110, 115, 120 or 125 VAC regulated to ±3% (200, 220, 230 or 240 VAC for the S4K2U30005-D).
What the SolaHD S4K2UD doers: When utility line power is interrupted, integrated valve-regulated, non-spillable lead-acid batteries supply the output through a pulse-width modulated inverter to reduce output voltage distortion. The battery has a 9.0 Ah rating that can deliver a full rated load (3,000 VA) for 4 minutes or a 50% rated load for 12 minutes.
After a full discharge and when reconnected to line power, the internal batteries can recharge to 90% capacity in three hours while the UPS still delivers its full-rated output. The onboard batteries are hot-swappable and can be replaced while the UPS operates.
A next-generation improvement on the Series C models, the new S4K2UD offers a higher output power factor of 1.0 to improve availability and allow for the connection of more loads. The 3,000 VA-rated variant of the 2U low profile (3.5”) module is contained in a 21.3” x 16.9” x 3.5” full metal enclosure and can be rack or stand-alone tower mounted.
The SolaHD S4K2UD is an on-line UPS offering zero switching time between external and internal battery power sources to ensure power continuity to critical loads during loss or disruption to utility power.
The model is available in 120 V and 240 V variants and can support power levels up to 3000 VA. The rack or tower mountable supplies are housed in an industry-standard, low-profile 2U enclosure. Designed to provide status and diagnostic updates, such as battery health status and replacement date predictions. It uses a full-color graphic LCD display, so an external laptop is unnecessary. www.emerson.com
