微軟作為全球數(shù)據(jù)中心的領(lǐng)軍企業(yè)之一，其在能源管理和技術(shù)創(chuàng)新方面一直走在行業(yè)前列
。近年來，微軟在其數(shù)據(jù)中心中采用鋰電池技術(shù)
，這一轉(zhuǎn)變標(biāo)志著清潔、節(jié)能、綠色、環(huán)保的理念在全球范圍內(nèi)的推廣和實踐。鉛酸電池+ UPS的組合在過去雖然為數(shù)據(jù)中心提供了穩(wěn)定的電力保障
，但隨著算力需求的提升，其能量密度、壽命、維護成本和環(huán)境影響等劣勢亦日益凸顯。鉛酸電池已被視為過時的技術(shù)。

海外科技巨頭為何高度重視數(shù)據(jù)中心能效優(yōu)化以及對環(huán)境的影響。
And this enormous consumption of energy means data centres are enormous emitters of greenhouse gases. Indeed, according to some analyses, global emissions from cloud computing range from 2.5 per cent to 3.7 per cent of all global greenhouse gas emissions, thereby exceeding emissions from commercial flights (which amount to around 2.4 per cent).
問題實質(zhì)在于：數(shù)據(jù)中心消耗了大量的能源，這種巨大的能源消耗意味著數(shù)據(jù)中心是溫室氣體的巨大排放者。事實上，根據(jù)一些分析
，云計算的全球排放量占全球溫室氣體排放量的 2.5% 至 3.7%，從而超過了商業(yè)航班的排放量（約 2.4%）。As a result, Battery storage materials is now becoming a major priority for the data centre industry and the sustainability of the energy storage systems that are used by the sector is becoming a key consideration.
因此
battery storage technology company zincFive said that the data centre industry is
"evolving rapidly with unprecedented speed and innovation,with battery storage
solutions emerging as a key focus".The report,which was based on a survey of more
than 100 data centre industry professionals, showed that 44 per cent of respondents
said that "sustainability targets/mandates were driving the changes respondents
considered for their energy storage technology".
根據(jù)一份報告顯示
事實上
In the past decade, the pace of technological innovation in data centers in Europe, America, and Australia has accelerated, with one significant change being the gradual replacement of traditional lead-acid batteries with lithium batteries. Particularly in Australia, this trend has been quite pronounced.
在過去的十年間
About five years ago, data centers in Australia almost completely ceased purchasing lead-acid batteries, instead universally adopting more advanced, efficient, and environmentally friendly lithium batteries as their backup power solution.

海外數(shù)據(jù)中心運營商和客戶對能效
Banks of lithium-ion batteries at a Microsoft datacenter in Dublin will be a part of the solution to this problem later this year.
These batteries, which typically provide backup power for the datacenter in case of emergency, have been certified, tested and approved for connection to the grid in a way that helps grid operators provide uninterrupted service when demand exceeds the supply generated elsewhere on the grid by wind, solar and other sources.
Providing this grid service “is a way for us to unlock the value of the datacenter,” said Nur Bernhardt, a senior program manager for energy at Microsoft.
位于都柏林的 Microsoft 數(shù)據(jù)中心的鋰離子電池組通常在緊急情況下為數(shù)據(jù)中心提供備用電源，而這些鋰電池產(chǎn)品已經(jīng)過認(rèn)證、測試和批準(zhǔn)
雖然鋰離子電池的初始成本高于鉛酸電池
If grid-interactive UPS systems replace the grid services currently provided by fossil fuel power plants in Ireland and Northern Ireland, about two million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions could be avoided in 2025, according to Baringa, an energy advisory firm that Microsoft commissioned to analyze the potential impact of the technology.
“This is definitely moving the dial on emissions at a national level,” said Mark Turner, a partner in Baringa’s energy practice who helped perform the analysis.
Two million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions is about one-fifth of the total emissions expected across the island of Ireland from the power sector in 2025, he explained.
What’s more, by relying on grid-interactive UPS technology for grid services, end consumers across Ireland would save tens of millions of dollars on fuel and other costs required to maintain the spinning reserve at coal and natural gas fired power plants.

The main purpose of the UPS system is to provide power conditioning for the servers. The UPS system is always on, providing protection to the servers. In 2015, Microsoft started to explore the potential to leverage these assets.
