Company installs SF6-free SafePlus AirPlus Ring Main Units from ABB
May 24, 2022
Gas-insulated switchgear, widely used in MV secondary substations, conventionally contain SF6, which has excellent dielectric and arc-extinguishing properties, but, at the same time, is the world’s most potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential 25,200 times that of CO2.
Natron’s batteries are manufactured using the same tools and equipment used for lithium-ion manufacturing. This similarity in manufacturing requirements enables Natron and Clarios to leverage a portion of the Clarios Meadowbrook lithium-ion facility for sodium-ion manufacturing at a lower cost and faster time to market compared to building a new factory.
Mission critical data center operations typically require significant amounts of water and energy for cooling, and hyperscale server rack power density is expected to double as soon as 2023.
Waste vegetable and animal fats, and used cooking oils, can be used as base materials for HVO, which are converted into hydrocarbons by means of a catalytic reaction with the addition of hydrogen.
Using a modular approach, ABB’s microgrid solutions allow data centers to operate fully off-grid, powered by their own solar or wind generation coupled with battery energy storage systems (BESS), or partially off-grid by utilizing both renewables and power networks.
New curriculum covers critical sustainability concepts, industry trends, and regulations
