In the latest episode of our sponsored series In the Spotlight, Jordan O’Brien, Managing Editor of Electrical Review and Data Centre Review, speaks with Peter Glenn, Commercial Director at RSE, about the growing power challenge facing data centre developers.
As demand for new data centre capacity continues to rise, securing sufficient grid power continues to be a pain point for many developers. That is forcing operators to look more closely at on-site generation – but choosing the right technology for the job can be a minefield, with a myriad of options available.
During this interview, Peter explores some of those technologies – including gas engines, gas turbines and fuel cells – and explains what factors need to consider when it comes to the benefits and drawbacks of each one.
He also explains why geography can play an important role in technology selection, with temperature, humidity and altitude all potentially impacting the performance and suitability of different generation solutions.
