DCD Panel: The path to reliable, emission free backup

As data centers advance their journeys to net zero, it has become essential that they invest in cleaner backup solutions in lieu of traditional diesel gensets. However, these environmental concerns are set against the backdrop of a constrained power market and ageing grid, so operations must ensure they implement sustainable backup without compromising reliability.

This panel brings together industry experts who will assess viable alternatives to diesel generators, and assess the latest innovations in battery storage systems and the efficiency savings they can provide to an operation. Critically this episode will outline a roadmap away from traditional backup, equipping operators with the knowledge to effectively and efficiently manage hybrid backup systems whilst they transition away from diesel.
