Development and promotion of lithium iron phosphate batteries in data centers
UPS equipment is widely used in data center power supply and distribution systems, and its supporting batteries currently mainly use lead-acid valve-controlled batteries, and there are few cases of using lithium batteries. This is still a few years ago. In recent years, with the technological progress and capacity expansion of lithium iron phosphate batteries, the advantages of lithium iron phosphate batteries such as high energy density, strong safety, good high-temperature performance, high power output, long cycle life, and environmental protection have caused enterprises in the communications field. s concern.
The backup lithium iron phosphate battery has only been used in the communication network for a few years. For a distributed power supply system or a modular power supply room, because the power of a single UPS is small, the battery capacity required is small. In addition, the distributed power supply or modular data room requires the power supply equipment to be close to the IT equipment or to be installed in the same cabinet as the IT equipment, and the resulting load-bearing, space, and other issues will be more limited by the use of lithium iron phosphate batteries. The advantage of higher energy density.
The data center lithium iron phosphate battery system is equipped with BMS, which can be adapted to a large-capacity UPS system, autonomously and intelligently manages battery charging and discharging, and realizes high-precision status monitoring and protection control, providing solid support for the intelligent management of the data center.
The large-capacity lithium iron phosphate battery system is a new type of power supply system used in the data center computer room. The system is widely used in data centers, core computer rooms, UPS uninterruptible power supply, and other communication fields as backup power sources with its high magnification, integration, miniaturization, intelligence, centralized monitoring, and standard modular installation.
The data center power reserve solution uses a new generation of lithium iron phosphate batteries as backup batteries, which can well solve the industry's pain points. With the continuous development of the lithium battery industry, lithium iron phosphate battery solutions will become the inevitable choice for the new generation of green and smart energy in the data room.
Datacenter lithium iron phosphate battery application advantages
1. Increase the temperature of the air conditioner in the computer room and reduce the PUE of the computer room
Reducing the energy consumption of the data room is always the core requirement for the construction of the data room. The lithium iron phosphate battery has excellent high-temperature storage and circulation performance. Therefore, the temperature of the data room air-conditioning can be increased to 30 degrees or higher according to the local environment of the computer room, thereby greatly reducing the air-conditioning Cooling energy consumption reduces the PUE of the computer room.
2. Modular system design to ensure efficient operation and maintenance
The whole system uses 364 lithium battery modules to form 26 battery clusters and 4 battery systems. The system can be quickly installed and operated and maintained in a modular design. And when part of the module fails, it will not affect the normal operation of the entire system. Even non-professionals can quickly restore the operation of the faulty system through module replacement.
3. Small footprint, increase data center revenue
The lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage and the backup system only occupy less than 70 square meters, which can save at least 1/2 the area of the computer room compared with lead-acid batteries of the same power capacity, which can effectively save land costs and increase data center revenue.
4. Intelligent management, reducing operation and maintenance costs
All battery status of the system can be visualized in real-time. The battery voltage, current, temperature, capacity, and health status can be grasped in real-time through the monitoring system. The entire system does not require maintenance during operation, which truly realizes the intelligent management of the power supply guarantee system in the data room. Reduce operation and maintenance costs.
5. Long service life, can use peak and valley difference to reduce system cost
The service life of lithium iron phosphate batteries is at least 4 to 8 times that of ordinary lead-acid batteries. The long cycle life can support the system to charge at night and discharge at peak electricity prices during the day, reducing the electricity cost of the data room through the peak-to-valley price difference. Calculating with 1.8MWh power, if 60% of the electricity is used for peak-to-valley cycle applications, it can reduce electricity bills by about 200,000 yuan per year.
The data center industry needs to conduct in-depth research and rational use of the characteristics of lithium iron phosphate batteries, test the application of lithium iron phosphate batteries in actual applications, and match the components of the data center power distribution system to provide comprehensive performance.
Manly Battery's lithium iron phosphate battery is a very popular brand in the market in recent years. Since its appearance, this brand has been loved by many people. Energy Storage Electric is engaged in the research and development, production, and sales of lithium batteries and battery systems. At the same time, the construction of data centers in various places also brings huge opportunities for energy storage lithium batteries.
With the construction of 5G communication base stations and data centers in various places, lithium iron phosphate batteries for energy storage have ushered in good development opportunities. China Tower, China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, Huawei and other communications and equipment companies are increasing their replacement of lithium iron phosphate batteries in the communications field. The construction of 5G communication base stations and data centers has brought a wave of policy dividends to LFP companies.
