Grid-Scale Graphene Battery Storage | 5MWh–10MWh ENPACK
Designed with graphene-based solid-state tech, it provides instant, reliable energy without heat, maintenance, or footprint-heavy systems—perfect for data centers, government facilities, and
Data center operators are concerned that their rapidly growing electricity demand is outrunning electric utilities' ability to connect and power them. Potential solutions include utility/permitting reform, nuclear, geothermal, and even off-grid solar with batteries. Casey Handmer overviewed off-grid solar + battery systemsas a solution on his blog.
The opportunities uniquely available to solar + storage systems are simplifications that can reduce non-IT capital expenditure, add modularity, improve reliability, and decrease construction difficulty. Basic estimates for a fully equipped data center building minus the actual computers are around $10,000/kW.
There is substantial variance in data center energy performance. Lawrence Berkeley National Lab estimatesthat "standard" performers only use 40% of their energy on computers. The remaining usage is from fans, cooling unit compressors, pumps, power conversions, etc.
Basic estimates for a fully equipped data center building minus the actual computers are around $10,000/kW. Even 10%-20% savings would substantially impact the relative competitiveness of powering the facility with solar + batteries. Eliminate uninterruptible power supplies.
