Verizon Communications and Lineage Power Corporation have partnered to reduce the energy use of information and communication technology companies. This will be done through new technologies developed.
The technologies will allow wireless operators, communication carriers, internet service providers and large enterprises to turn electricity from commercial alternating current (A.C.) to direct current (D.C.).
Customized rectifiers and software which will boost efficiency of the A.C./D.C. adaptation process to up to 97 percent, thereby saving electricity and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy savings can be more than 1 billion kilowatt-hours every year through reducing power use and cooling costs for the 23, 000 telecom offices and large data centers in the country.
Testing for the five technologies will be done in five of Verizon’s central office facilities.
To help with the project, the Department of Energy had given a $2.4 million grant to finance the monitoring, research, design, engineering, removal and installation expenses of the program.
Information and communication facilities take up around 3 percent of United States’ electric use. The quick progress of data centers as well as the demand for it in the country is expected to require two more large power plants.
If energy efficiency measures are not practiced, electricity costs will rise, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. The dependability of electricity will also suffer.
