Low-carbon challenges faced by large-scale data centers Gui'an Midea Cloud, a modern green data center located in Gui'an New District, and NetEase Gui'an Data Center, Bank of Communications Gui'an Data Center, Southern Energy Data Center and other buildings together to form a mega data center cluster, building a firm foundation of “China's Digital Valley”. Gui'an Midea cloud data center to the national A-class data center as the standard, the planning and construction of four data center buildings, has completed the construction of building A and the park supporting projects, a total construction area of about 16,000 square meters, can provide 1,200 8kW cabinets, for the Midea Group, the transformation of the digital intelligence to provide an important guarantee and support.
With such a large-scale and high-standard data center processing data 24 hours a day, the pressure to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions should not be underestimated, which puts higher requirements on the overall energy management of the building. Ma De, vice president of Huaxin Design Institute, said that Guian Midea's cloud project is a precedent for large air-conditioning companies to get involved in the field of data centers, and faces the challenge of how to achieve PUE <1.2, which requires innovative construction ideas and advanced technology application. Midea Building Technology has made full use of the unique climatic advantages of Gui'an New Area, combined with the latest energy-saving technologies and intelligent management tools to create a green data center that integrates high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection, setting a benchmark for the industry.
Comprehensive solutions to empower the United States to create a new benchmark of green and efficient data center Gui'an New Area is a subtropical humid and mild climate, the average annual temperature of about 15 ℃, high air cleanliness, and therefore become one of the “East counts West counts” eight hub nodes, is the first national big data comprehensive pilot zone, the core of Guizhou Province, the new area; but also the At the same time, it is also the backbone of the “West-East Electricity Sending” power supply, rich in electricity resources, electricity prices are relatively favorable. In terms of temperature control, Midea Building Technologies makes full use of the cool climate and convenient conditions of Guian New Area, and carefully designs a set of high-efficiency dual-cooling source refrigeration solutions combining direct-ventilated AHU air conditioning system and chilled water refrigeration. By intelligently switching the three operation modes of “direct ventilation”, “hybrid refrigeration” and “full return air”, the system maximizes the use of natural cooling sources and effectively reduces energy consumption. The direct ventilated AHU system is equipped with wet film and surface cooler, with no heat exchange loss and high cooling efficiency.
The chilled water refrigeration system is located on the first floor of the data center in Building A. It consists of two 800RT Midea inverter direct-drive centrifugal chillers and one 800RT Midea inverter magnetic levitation centrifugal chiller, both of which reach the national level of energy-efficiency standards and provide stable and reliable auxiliary cooling.
The auxiliary cooling system is equipped with three open cooling towers to meet the water quality requirements and ensure stable operation of the system through the mutual backup design. The machine room is also installed with an integrated humidifier and dehumidifier to assist in humidity control. In the power distribution room and battery room, Midea Building Technologies uses a combination of a fluorine pump air-conditioning system and a natural ventilation system to further improve cooling energy efficiency.
In response to the data center access requirements, Midea Building Technologies provided a full life cycle elevator solution covering LINVOL passenger elevators and King Ling freight elevators, which integrate heavy-duty, high-speed, energy-saving and safety, and optimize group control and deployment with the help of intelligent control to shorten the waiting time for passengers and the elevator operation time. At the same time, Midea Intelligent Building has configured an integrated power supply system for IT and traditional facility power consumption for the data center in Building A, which includes integrated power supply cabinets, transformers, UPS, lithium batteries, and other key components, and supplemented it with a full range of services, such as installation, debugging, training, and maintenance, to ensure that the power supply system of the data center operates efficiently and stably. With the put into use of Gui'an Midea's cloud data center, the effect of PUE as low as 1.17 has been achieved, reaching the level of leading data centers in China. The successful implementation of the project not only for the Midea Group in the next ten years of digital computing power demand and manufacturing cloud services and other innovative business to provide strong support, but also China's computing power infrastructure construction industry green upgrade set a model to drive the landing of more green data centers, accelerate the computing power industry green, low-carbon, high-quality development.
