A Super Performance Dew Point Cooling System for Data Centres

Data centres are evolving rapidly due to the growing demand for cloud computing, AI, data storage, and digital services. A significant amount of electric energy used by data centres is dedicated to cooling. The innovative super performance dew point cooling system developed by the team at the University of Hull is not only environmentally friendly and cost-effective, but it can also reduce electric energy consumption by up to 90% compared to traditional refrigeration systems.

Managing Electrical Power Harmonics on the LV Network

The transition to Net Zero will require a significant increase in the number of low carbon technologies (LCTs) being connected to the Low Voltage (LV) Network, including Electric Vehicles (EV), Heat Pumps (HP) and Photovoltaics (PV). As LCTs are mainly single phase and an inverter-based technology, they may have a negative impact on power quality (PQ), particularly, harmonics.
