Recently,Caterpillar Inc. announces successful partnership with Microsoft and Ballard Power Systems,Demonstrated that the use of large hydrogen fuel cells for data centers provides reliable、Feasibility of a sustainable backup power supply。The demonstration project provides valuable insight into how fuel cell systems can power multi-megawatt data centers,Make sure 99 is met.999% Continuous run time requirement for,Ensure uninterrupted power supply。
The demonstration project was conducted in a challenging environment,The hydrogen fuel cell power system was verified at an altitude of 6,086 feet(1,855 m)And performance below freezing point。The project simulated 48 hours of backup power at a Microsoft data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming.,In which a hydrogen fuel cell is integrate into a data center pow plant to support its critical load。Cat®(Carter)The microgrid controller is used to control two Cat® Power Grid Stabilization(PGS)1260 Battery Energy Storage System and 1.5 MW Hydrogen fuel cell。
Caterpillar led the project.,Provide overall system integration、Power Electronics and Microgrid Control,Constitute the core structure of the hydrogen energy solution。Cat® Senior Vice President, Power Jaime Mineart Express:“The successful collaboration with Microsoft and Ballard Power Systems demonstrates the potential of hydrogen fuel cells to help data centers address critical power needs while reducing emissions.。”
“The success of this project provides an opportunity for very large suppliers to drive sustainable innovation in power generation technology.。” Senior Director of Data Center Research, Microsoft Sean James Express,“The research and findings of the hydrogen fuel cell demonstration project will help us achieve our goal of negative carbon emissions by 2030.。”
The project is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies.(DOE) H2@Scale Program support and partial funding,The program brings stakeholders together.,Drive affordable hydrogen production across multiple energy sectors、Transportation、Storage and utilization。During the course of the project,The US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Security was analyzed、Techno-economic and greenhouse gases(GHG)Influence。
“We view the completion of the demonstration project as an important demonstration of the reliability and durability of Ballard fuel cells in providing zero-emission backup power for data centers.。” Chief Commercial Officer, Ballard Power Systems David Mucciacciaro Express,“Our products meet the critical power needs of data center customers in this rapidly growing industry,We are very excited about this.。”
