ABB – ABB introduces breakthrough power solution to ensure grid compliance for Ireland’s data centers

• ABB introduces ultracapacitor energy storage solution for real-time, coordinated grid support in data centers
• New EirGrid grid code modification MPID345 requires large demand facilities such as data centers to support grid stability during fault conditions
• New ABB whitepaper outlines how ultracapacitor energy storage and intelligent power orchestration can solve the MPID345 compliance challenge without redesigning existing infrastructure

Ireland’s data centers, along with many other countries, are facing a major energy supply challenge. Power grid operators such as Eirgrid will no longer allow them to remain passive consumers. Instead, they expect them to play an active role in supporting grid stability. This is an essential measure to ensure availability of supply and to keep electricity costs down for both industrial and domestic consumers.
