The dependable and extremely energy ef cient data center has generated excitement throughout the industry, even catching the attention of of cials at other universities. One Midwest school, impressed with the clean-and-green, highly reliable center, has ordered four of the same patented Capstone Hybrid UPS microturbines that today power the Syracuse University Data Center. At Syracuse University’s facility, 12 patented Capstone Hybrid UPS microturbines are a fundamental reason for the award- winning data center’s continuous operation. Traditional data centers rely on primary power from the utility grid and use batteries in the event of short-term power loss. The university’s data center has the option to produce its own electricity along with ef cient hot water and chilled water using the natural-gas fueled microturbines. Generating its own power reduces utility costs and provides protection for extended utility outages. This enables the system to operate at the optimum point, balancing electrical obligations along with heating and cooling demand. In the event utility power is lost, the system seamlessly assumes the electrical load and automatically starts the microturbines if they are not already operating. Twelve Capstone C65 Hybrid UPS microturbines are installed in Syracuse University’s Green Data Center. The center is designed to use 50 percent less energy than traditional data centers. The 12,000-foot facility uses 50 percent less energy and produces fewer greenhouse gases than traditional data centers. Its high energy ef ciency and low emissions garnered the center several awards within months of its launch. It was named a nalist for Power Engineering magazine’s prestigious 2010 Project of the Year Award, an international competition that honors breakthrough technologies and outstanding projects. Recognition also came from the Energy Solution Center in Washington, D.C., which presented the center its 2010 Partner Award. CRITICAL POWER Capstone microturbines can operate connected to a utility grid or provide stand-alone power to critical loads, such as data centers. Unlike traditional backup gensets that sit idle most of the time and then do not always start when needed, Capstone microturbines operate as extremely reliable, continuous power supplies.
