Explanation of the Fundamental differences between Automation and Optimization Controls through and understanding of the basic engineering fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics, Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics.
Takeaway
- To understand that energy efficiency is a key priority in Data Center operation. Energy demand continues to grow due to the increased demands and requirements of the Data Center industry. Energy efficiency represents more than 40% of the emissions abatement needed by 2040, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) Sustainable Development Scenario.
- To discuss the many challenges in outlining a path to Net -Zero design and efficient chilled plant design and operation. Typical plants are designed with N+1 redundancy, and traditional PID set point / speed-based control strategies. These designs do not take advantage of efficiencies in part load operation nor potential peak load demand power savings with efficient equipment sequencing.
- To understand the Fundamentals of Chiller Plant Optimization which revolves around the understanding and the application of the fundamental principles of fluid dynamics, heat transfer and thermodynamics and utilizing these principals with digitalization and demand-based controls to maximize system performance of the entire plant, providing upwards of 40% energy savings over traditional controls strategies.
