Microsoft has improved the efficiency of its Dublin data center, a facility hailed for its energy-sipping qualities when it came online in .
Microsoft has lowered the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of its Dublin facility from . in its first phase to . in the newest data hall, which was added last CG Leads year, reported Data Center Knowledge. PUE compares a data center’s total power use to the amount of power used by the IT equipment, a metric that shows how much is lost in distribution and conversion. The average PUE for enterprise data centers is ., reported Data Center Knowledge.
As a part of CEMI’s increased focus on manufacturing research and development, DOE awarded over $ million in manufacturing research and development projects. And the Department released a $ million funding opportunity to reduce the manufacturing costs of solar energy technology, including photovoltaics and concentrated solar power. In the coming months, the Energy Department plans to issue a funding opportunity that supports a new manufacturing innovation institute.
Other key elements of CEMI include:
Providing additional energy productivity training and technical assistance for manufacturers that build on current efforts like the Industrial Assessment Centers that offer no-cost energy efficiency assessments for manufacturers and the Better Plants Challenge.
Leveraging the capabilities of the US National Laboratories to evaluate the US competitive position in manufacturing and prioritizes strategic investments.
Hosting a series of regional and national summits to gather input on manufacturing priorities, identify barriers and opportunities for growing clean energy manufacturing competitiveness, and showcase national and regional models that address these priorities.
Launching new public-private partnerships focused on improving US clean energy manufacturing competitiveness.
The new Carbon Fiber Technology Facility in Tennessee is now open to US manufacturers as a test bed for the development of less expensive, better performing carbon fiber materials and manufacturing processes. In particular, the Energy Department says carbon fiber has tremendous opportunity to boost American competitiveness as the leading manufacturer of fuel-efficient gasoline and electric vehicles.
