"East Data and West Computing " Shaoguan data center cluster will use "100% Green Electricity"|Idcnova-Media|the gateway to China data center market

A few days ago, the reporter learned from China Southern Power Grid Guangdong Power Grid Company that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Shaoguan, Guangdong will basically be built as a demonstration area for a new power system of the whole region to form a strong main distribution grid structure and support new energy consumption capacity to reach 100%. The proportion of clean energy in the whole region accounts for 90%, which can provide a more reliable, green and intelligent power consumption guarantee for the construction of the Shaoguan data center cluster, the national computing power hub of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

High Proportion of Clean Energy of Shaoguan

At present, Shaoguan has relatively abundant power generation capacity. The installed capacity of thermal power, hydropower, wind power and photovoltaic power is more than 8 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation on-grid is more than 27 billion kilowatt-hours. As of the end of last year, Shaoguan's clean energy accounted for 52.6%, higher than the national and provincial average.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Shaoguan plans to add 11 million kilowatts of renewable energy such as wind power and photovoltaics. The Guangdong Shaoguan Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid will actively implement the new energy service guidelines, realize the "necessary and complete integration" of distributed energy, and promote the decentralized development and consumption of energy nearby. "By 2025, Shaoguan's clean energy power generation can basically meet the power consumption of hub clusters." Li Shushuang, general manager of the Marketing Department of Shaoguan Power Supply Bureau, believes that cluster power consumption can be said to achieve "100% green electricity"

Guangdong has taken the lead in carrying out spot market-based electricity trading in the country. Guangdong Power Grid Corporation will further promote the construction of digital power grids, do a good job in the access, control and consumption of large-scale new energy, provide convenient services for the market-based trading of cluster electricity consumption, and promote cleanliness. The proportion of energy consumption in fields such as data center clusters.

Power Construction first for High-Quality Service Cluster

According to the relevant person in charge of the Shaoguan Development and Reform Bureau, by 2025, the Shaoguan data center cluster will be built with 500,000 standard racks and 5 million servers, with an investment of over 50 billion yuan (excluding servers and software) to carry low-latency classes. The business is dominated by large and ultra-large data centers.

Shaoguan Power Supply Bureau insists on planning ahead and deeply intervenes. Combined with the new demand for power grid hardware from the construction of hub clusters and new energy development, it is planned to build two 500kV substations and five 220kV substations, of which the construction of two 220kV substations has entered the early stage of work.

The Huashao Data Industrial Park, which is the first to settle in Shaoguan High-tech Zone, covers an area of 262 mu and is planned to be constructed in three phases, which will be completed in 2025. It is estimated that the annual electricity consumption of the industrial park will be about 1 billion kWh after it is completed and put into operation.

Electricity accounts for about 90% of operating costs. We must find ways to improve the energy efficiency of data centers. The long-term goal should be controlled below 1.245, which is lower than the target issued by the National Development and Reform Commission." Liao Qiang, general manager of the operation and maintenance department of the industrial park, introduced. The industrial park adopts plate heat exchangers to facilitate the natural exchange of outdoor cold air with the outside world in winter; Air-conditioner suspension units are adopted, and hot and cold aisles are operated in isolation, and the use of clean energy such as photovoltaic wind power is vigorously increased, and energy storage projects are planned and constructed to make full use of low-valley electricity to reduce electricity costs. "

Taking into account the power demand of users, Shaoguan Power Supply Bureau adopts full-capacity backup power supply for the power consumption of the hub cluster industry, and comprehensively considers the power pipeline gallery, power supply voltage level, and power supply form in combination with the park planning and customer power demand. "We will actively cooperate with the government to make special power plans and promote the incorporation of power development plans into the overall planning of the industrial park." PAN Kaining, general manager of the Planning and Development Department of Shaoguan Power Supply Bureau, introduced.

Shaoguan Power Supply Bureau has taken the lead in realizing automatic drone inspections of transmission lines in China Southern Power Grid and intelligent drone inspections of distribution networks in mountainous areas. On the basis of fully completing the data collection of metering facilities, the operation and maintenance personnel drew a topology map of the low-voltage distribution network based on the "Smart View" system of China Southern Power Grid, which significantly improved the efficiency of daily inspection and maintenance, and provided information and intelligent guarantees for the reliable operation of the power grid.
