NEXAIRA.Systems: 50% Cooling Energy Savings for Data Centres
Data centres are an essential part of the global digital infrastructure. As data usage for business and personal purposes continues to rise, the energy-intensive operation of modern data centres presents a major challenge for their operators.
Energy demand is growing faster than the existing energy infrastructure, particularly due to increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI), pushing energy availability to its limits. Additionally, legal requirements for improved energy efficiency and CO₂ reduction add complexity to maintaining proper operations.
Cooling, which is critical to system stability, plays a significant role in this equation. On average, more than 30% of a data centre’s total energy consumption is used for cooling.
In the future, global cooling energy consumption in data centres is projected to rise from 136 to 257 terawatt-hours, with energy costs increasing from US$19bn to US$36bn.
These challenges can be reliably addressed with NEXAIRA.Systems by ebm-papst.
This innovative solution helps data centre operators reduce their energy consumption and achieve their sustainability goals. NEXAIRA.Systems takes a holistic approach, optimizing the entire cooling cycle by considering all system components and controlling them for maximum operational efficiency.
A digital twin for maximum energy efficiency
The AI-powered Cooling System Optimization in NEXAIRA.Systems creates a digital twin of the on-site cooling system and mathematically models its individual components. This enables more precise predictions of the cooling demand, ensuring all components are optimally controlled in real-time based on the current environmental conditions.
Intelligent management and control of all system components result in significant energy savings. The cooling energy consumption can be reduced by up to 50%, which in turn lowers electricity costs and CO₂ emissions.
As the demand for data centre infrastructure continues to grow, optimal and efficient operation is essential to meet these increasing requirements. The investment in the AI-powered Cooling System Optimization offering typically has a payback period of approximately one year.
PUE value: Easier compliance with legal requirements
The innovative solution also has a significant impact on Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). By reducing the energy required for server cooling, NEXAIRA.Systems lowers the PUE value of data centres, helping operators comply with the legal regulations on energy efficiency that are on the rise in many countries around the world.
Ready for the AI revolution
With AI increasingly integrated into business and everyday life, data centres face new challenges in terms of energy availability and consumption. Energy efficiency is a critical factor, as AI training consumes significantly more electricity than traditional data processing.
The higher power density of AI workloads necessitates more effective cooling solutions, as increased cooling demand also raises energy consumption. This pushes cooling systems to their capacity limits, especially during peak loads. An intelligent real-time cooling system control is essential to addressing these challenges.
NEXAIRA.Systems leverages AI-powered Cooling System Optimization to dynamically manage cooling demand – ensuring maximum energy efficiency and optimal preparation for the high computational demands of AI workloads.
Data security without compromise
In a world that increasingly relies on available and reliable computing power, data security remains a top priority for data centres. NEXAIRA.Systems is an on-premise solution that protects sensitive data. An integrated alarm system sends notifications when critical thresholds are exceeded.
Real-time monitoring and energy consumption forecasts further enhance transparency and operational security. Additionally, ISO 50.001-compliant reporting is available for enhanced documentation.
With all these features, NEXAIRA.Systems enables data centres to reduce energy consumption and electricity costs, minimize capacity risks, and achieve sustainability goals. By optimizing cooling systems for maximum efficiency, NEXAIRA.Systems ensures that data centres operate cooler, smarter, and more sustainably.
