Feasibility analysis of a PV-H2-Battery system for a data center in Luleå
With the push for increasing the renewable share in power production and including more energy storage devices getting more assertive, all the industrial sectors are exploring how alternative power pathways can be implemented along with the existing systems. Digitalization is expected to overgrow in...

With the push for increasing the renewable share in power production and including more energy storage devices getting more assertive, all the industrial sectors are exploring how alternative power pathways can be implemented along with the existing systems. Digitalization is expected to overgrow in the coming years. Data centers are crucial infrastructure to support booming digitalization. Hence to support the rising power demands of the data centers, the alternate power paths comprising on-site renewables, use of green H2, and batteries for energy storage need to be investigated in techno-economic terms.
