Siemens deploys artificial intelligence at Baltics’ newest, most energy efficient data center
The new 14,500 m2 data
center in Tallinn, Estonia, runs on renewable energy and is the first of three
such facilities, contributing to boosting the Baltic region’s e-commerce and
digital societies. Providing the operational technology control platform of the
new data center is Desigo CC, an integrated building management platform from
Siemens Smart Infrastructure which connects and controls critical and
non-critical building systems. Desigo CC gives operators at the data center a
single pane of glass from which to visualize, monitor, control and optimize critical
building management systems, energy performance and the WSCO. Siemens building
automation technologies also control the data center’s ability to distribute
excess heat to a district heating company, if required.
“This new complex conforms to all of the highest
international security standards, and aims to operate at 25 percent higher
energy efficiency than the market’s average,” said Kert Evert, Chief
Development Officer, Greenergy Data Centers. “Working with Siemens we are able
to have a single-vendor concept from A-Z, and together we have created the
region’s most advanced and efficient data center, creating more favorable
conditions for both foreign and local companies to offer their services on the
Estonian or Baltic markets. Technologically speaking, we are at the absolute
top of the world.”
Thermal optimization has improved by
combining Desigo CC building management with Siemens’ AI-powered White Space
Cooling Optimization, increasing the building’s energy efficiency and contributing to its target Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value
of 1.2, against an industry average of around 1.6. Crucially, the software also
ensures thermal
protection of server rooms by automatically adjusting the operation of the
cooling systems.
A dense mesh of sensors across the center’s
white spaces provides the WSCO software with detailed temperature data. The
system then uses an advanced machine-learning model to analyze the effect of
cooling on specific areas, creating an influence map to optimize cooling
distribution at rack-level, and limiting energy use to only what is necessary.
The solution responds automatically to events such as temperature fluctuations,
minimizing the risk of malfunction, mitigating overconsumption issues and
ensuring the availability of equipment without interruption. This solution is implemented
in both greenfield and brownfield data centers.
“As demand for data center services
continues to rise globally, digital tools will play a key role in mitigating
the environmental impact of data, while maintaining the high levels of
security, resilience and redundancy required of critical infrastructure,” said
Dave Hopping, CEO, Solutions and Services, Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “Greenergy
Data Centers’ new facility in Tallinn is an excellent example of how digital
building technology and services can combine to create a benchmark in smart,
energy-efficient data centers.”
To ensure a reliable and safe power supply
to the data center, Siemens provided from concept to delivery, customized power
distribution systems natively integrated into Desigo CC for energy performance
monitoring from a single pane of glass. This includes low-voltage Sivacon S8
switchgears and Sivacon 8PS busbars, Simosec medium voltage switchgears for the
entire data center, and a high-voltage system from Siemens Energy.
