Online Auction Service Business EBAY has begun to promote the boiling fuel power lithium battery technology to its new data center, this is to reduce the negative impact of its large-scale infrastructure while increasing energy efficiency. The statement on new facilities was announced by eBay at the press conference of Utah on Thursday. The company also revealed that in addition to using fuel power lithium batteries from Bloomenergy as an important power supply means, the data center will also use ultra-high-density server box supplied by HP and Dell, and by investing in Ormat, Renewable Energy Technology.

Establish an off-site waste heat recovery facility. Since 2010, Bloomenergy has promised to bring extremely efficient fuel powered lithium batteries to our customers with its own solid oxide technology, thus referring to new development directions for future energy. As early as three years ago, Google's old larrypage once said that his company hopes to have a data center based on this energy system, provided that the technology is mature.

Although according to what we currently observed, Google has not yet established a fuel power lithium battery infrastructure that truly pays running, but eBay is undoubtedly only one step from victory, and this will make it the world's first technology. Technology company. When you come to the interception, Google has not responded to this.

So, what is the advantage of the fuel-powered lithium battery? EBAY believes that compared with the top phase of TopAz data center, the use of Bloom's fuel power lithium battery method can cut the second phase of the carbon dioxide emissions by 49%. According to EBAY, this technology should also add infrastructure availability and reliability. Typical data centers often get energy from the grid through large-capacity substations.

Once a power outage occurs, the infrastructure generally uses a certain UPS mechanism or a large-scale inertial wheel supply for temporary supply. If all measures have been invalid, then the diesel generator that is reliable but no environmentally friendly concept is to send it. Even a data center actually uses a diesel generator that is demolished from the World War II.

Bloomenergy's fuel power lithium battery is driven by natural gas. Once the power grid is fault, these batteries can continue to work for a long time before eBay to switch to the standby power. This means that there is no need to use the dirty combustion furnace, eBay can survive from a serious power outage.

In addition to eBay, Bloomenergy's customers also include Gu Ge, AT <000000> T, Apple and NTT.
