datacenterknowledge - July 29th, 2011 : John Rath
NTT America announced Thursday that it has deployed Bloom Energy Servers at its Lundy Data Center in San Jose, California. The five Energy Servers will supply 500 kW of total capacity. As part of NTT America’s energy efficiency initiatives, they monitored advancements in energy conservation technologies and selected Bloom Energy’s proven fuel cell technology, running on directed biogas. The fuel cells at the Lundy data center will be connected to a natural gas pipeline, and utilize biogas from a California dairy farm to generate electricity on-site. Distributed generation means electricity is generated where it will be used, allowing NTT America to reduce the amount of energy loss due to transmission across power lines, increasing efficiency and trimming costs.
