Microsoft's Dublin datacenter to help take pressure off Ireland's renewable energy
Microsoft is to deploy its"grid-interactive UPS technology" at the company's datacenter in Dublin, Ireland, later this year to demonstrate how such technology may be used to help decarbonize power grids.how it and power management specialist Eaton were jointly working on technology that would allow the energy storage systems used for backup power in datacenters to also help smooth out any variability in the power grid due to the unpredictability of renewable energy sources.
Instead, grid-interactive UPS technology allows facilities such as datacenters to - if necessary - feed some power back to the grid from their backup energy storage systems, typically large banks of lithium-ion batteries managed by a UPS system.
