Background
One of Singapore’s leading telecoms operator has reached out to Vertiv to identify energy savings opportunities in its facility’s HVAC chillers. The customer’s headquarters houses about 6 floors of data center space with a total of 10 Chillers.
Solution
Energy optimization through an AI/IIoT Technology
To address the needs of the customer & without compromising its Data Centre’s day to day operations – which is a critical part of their business – Vertiv worked with the customer to install a Chiller optimization device/service known as “External Digital Demand – Response Technologies or EDD-RT. This AI/IIoT technology “has been installed in each of the customer’s six chiller plants.
EDD, through its patented algorithm enhances the Chiller’s day to day operating characterises enabling the Chiller to make small & regular set point changes resulting in reduced operating costs though reduced kWh consumption while maintaining existing condition of a building.
Result
Notable energy savings through a simple, intelligent device
Notable energy savings through “EDD-RT” which is a Vendor neutral retrofittable device that simple and intelligent, just a little over a week since its installation, average energy consumption in the customer’s chiller plants decreased by about 33 kW or a 9.5% reduction in energy consumption. This means in each of the customer’s chiller plant, there is an estimated 289,080 kWh’s saved in a year, translating to roughly U$26,000 in savings per chiller plant annually.
