- Electricity load from computing infrastructure has surpassed air-conditioning power needs this summer.
- The Hongyun Technology Big Data Center is a key project in supporting the Yangtze River Delta's digital economy.
In Changshu, power consumption from the computing sector has become the main driver of electricity demand growth, outpacing seasonal air-conditioning loads. State Grid Suzhou has implemented innovative power solutions to meet this rising demand.
To ensure efficient power delivery, State Grid Suzhou employed a 'Power-on Upon Arrival' service model during the construction of the Hongyun Technology Big Data Center. A 110kV dual-power supply system was installed to guarantee timely electricity access.
Once operational, a dedicated 24/7 maintenance system was established to maintain the center's computing operations effectively. This collaboration has positioned both companies to adapt to the evolving energy market.
In light of new market-oriented policies, State Grid Suzhou has partnered with Hongyun Technology to lead discussions on power trading and green energy practices. This initiative encourages businesses to optimize energy usage based on market signals.
During peak consumption periods, the partnership has successfully enhanced load regulation. By optimizing refrigeration systems and scheduling non-urgent tasks at off-peak times, they have achieved a load capacity adjustment of 13,000 kilowatts, all while maintaining essential operations.
Following the introduction of new transmission and distribution tariffs, State Grid Suzhou provided detailed policy briefings to Hongyun Technology, resulting in savings of over ten million yuan annually.
The collaboration between State Grid Suzhou and Hongyun Technology not only addresses immediate energy needs but also sets a standard for integrating power supply with the digital economy, paving the way for future advancements in energy efficiency.
