Introduction

EcoDataCenter is a Swedish company founded by a group of entrepreneurs in 2014, that has emerged as a leading provider of sustainable and secure data center solutions in the Nordic region.

With a strong focus on energy efficiency and sustainability, EcoDataCenter combines cutting-edge technology with a commitment to environmental responsibility.

In their pursuit of excellence, EcoDataCenter sought a reliable partner to collaborate on their critical data center infrastructure needs.

Requirements for an emergency power partner

When EcoDataCenter began searching for an emergency power solution provider in 2016, the company was looking for more than just a supplier of products and services.

They were seeking a true partnership that would challenge them, inspire improvement, and provide the necessary support for their operations.

Key traits they sought in a partner included reliability, local presence, system integration capabilities, high-quality products, and efficiency.

An important requirement was a partner that could respond flexibly to EcoDataCenter's needs while also challenging technical decisions when appropriate.

The challenge:

Building A Resilient Data Center Infrastructure

EcoDataCenter required an emergency power system that could support continuous data center operations while meeting demanding requirements for reliability, availability and scalability. The company also needed access to technical expertise and integrated project delivery.

The expansion plans for its Falun data center, EcoDataCenter 1, presented an opportunity to find a partner that could provide an emergency power solution that not only met their immediate requirements but also provided scalability, flexibility, and capacity for future expansion.

Key requirements for the project:
  • Continuous uptime. Data center operations cannot tolerate unexpected power interruptions.
  • Redundancy. The power architecture must provide reliable backup capacity when individual components or systems are unavailable.
  • Scalability. Capacity requirements change as the data center expands and customer demand increases.
  • Long-term reliability. Power systems must remain maintainable, serviceable, and dependable throughout their operating life.

Solution Design And Collaboration

EcoDataCenter collaborated closely with Elektromatik, part of BOS Power, and Rolls-Royce Power Systems (RRPS) to design a customised emergency power solution that aligned with their specific needs and vision.

The collaboration combined expertise in emergency power, system integration and project execution to develop a solution around EcoDataCenter's operational requirements.

A key aspect of the solution was the implementation of a distributed redundant topology, designed to deliver reliable power to EcoDataCenter’s customers. Elektromatik and RRPS provided end-to-end responsibility, and integrated project management and high-quality products for the entire emergency power solution.

The integrated delivery simplified project execution and enabled the system components to be installed within the data center building, eliminating the need for external containers and piping.

Advantages & Benefits

The collaboration with Elektromatik and RRPS provided EcoDataCenter with several advantages and benefits.

From a design perspective, the solution catered to EcoDataCenter’s preferences, with all components installed inside the building, thereby maintaining a clean and aesthetically pleasing facility.

In terms of technical requirements, the Emergency Power Solution was designed to deliver the required power within a specified timeframe in the event of a grid failure. This met EcoDataCenter’s uptime requirements, ensuring uninterrupted operations for their customers.

The solution’s scalability and flexibility allow for future growth and expansion, accommodating changing needs and demands. By adopting a building block approach, EcoDataCenter can easily adjust the size and capacity of their infrastructure as their business evolves, optimizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Sustainability forms the fundamental focus of both parties involved in this collaboration. The implemented solution has paved the way for the potential to utilize advancements in sustainable practices, such as the use of fossil free diesel like HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil).

Additionally, the heat generated by the emergency power solution can potentially be harnessed and repurposed, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the data center. The market has developed significantly, and the partnership between Elektromatik, RRPS and EcoDataCenter opens opportunities to explore green solutions and technology in the coming years.

Key benefits include:

  • Reliable 24/7 operations: Backup power infrastructure helps protect critical data center operations against grid disturbances and outages.

  • Scalable capacity: The solution can be adapted as EcoDataCenter's infrastructure and power requirements develop.

  • Redundancy and resilience: Multiple systems and backup capacity reduce operational risk and support continuity.

  • Long-term partnership: Ongoing collaboration gives EcoDataCenter access to technical expertise, maintenance, and system support as requirements change.

  • Operational efficiency: Planning, service, and system design help reduce unnecessary operational risk throughout the lifetime of the installation.

Collaborative Partnership Conclusion

The success of the collaboration between Elektromatik, RRPS, and EcoDataCenter is the result of a project-based and technology-focused approach.

The close, ongoing dialogue, sharing of plans and strategies, and mutual challenges enable the partners to achieve more together than they could individually.

Elektromatik’s commitment to deliver by the method “time to market” (TTM) not only ensured on-time delivery but also guaranteed agreed-upon quality, empowering EcoDataCenter to manage their resources more efficiently

By looking ahead and planning for future growth, the partnership ensures timely delivery of required solutions and the ability to respond effectively to unforeseen risks.

How the customer-supplier relationship can evolve into a partnership, where both parties grow.

The more the companies work together to plan for the future, the stronger EcoDataCenter can become, and the better equipped Elektromatik will be to deliver as a partner.

The turnkey emergency power solution, based on RRPS leading technology, empowered EcoDataCenter to achieve their objectives through projects that ran on time, within scope and delivered optimal solutions.
