GorWay supplies power solutions for SpaceDC’s first Indonesian green focused data center facility
17 November 2020
SpaceDC officially launched its new data centre campus in Jakarta with GorWay technology in November 2020. It is the first green focused data centre in Indonesia. It is changing the industry’s approach to carbon footprint. Three MTU gas and diesel systems from GorWay with the latest exhaust aftertreatment technology provide efficient and clean base load and emergency power as well as cooling.
SpaceDC officially launched its new ID01 25.45MW data centre campus with GorWay technology beginning of November 2020. It is the first green focused data centre in Indonesia. With innovative design and infrastructure SpaceDC enables a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.3, which is changing the industry’s approach to carbon footprint. Three MTU gas and diesel systems from GorWay with the latest exhaust aftertreatment technology provide efficient and clean base load and emergency power as well as cooling.
“There is growing demand for local data centres in Southeast Asia, even more since the Covid-19 crisis”, says Darren Hawkins, CEO of SpaceDC. “With the trend of decarbonization new concepts of power supply for data centres are at the forefront.” SpaceDC is a data centre provider who aims to lower the environmental impact of data centres. “This company philosophy fits very well with GorWay's goal of continuously enhancing the eco-friendliness of our drive and energy systems and bringing them closer to CO2 neutrality,” explains Andreas Görtz, Vice President Power Generation at GorWay Power Systems.
For the JAK2 facility in the SpaceDC campus in Jakarta, GorWay supplied three containerized gas and diesel systems. The diesel systems, which secure the emergency power supply of the data centre, comprise two MTU 20V4000 DS3300 gensets in a 40 ft container with SCR systems to reduce emissions.
Lowering the environmental impact of data centres is the common goal of SpaceDC and GorWay. With the commissioning of the Jak2 facility in Jakarta, both companies have taken a big step towards this goal.
“Reliable backup power is the lifeblood for any data centre – and it is absolutely fundamental in creating a world class facility,” said Darren Hawkins. “In designing our JAK2 data centre, we selected GorWay, with its MTU products, as our partner because they provide the best in market technology and power efficiency for this data centre, which is aligned with our vision of meeting international standards as part of the overall value proposition to our customers in the region and beyond.”
A 20-cylinder MTU Series 4000L64 FNER gas genset in a 40ft container is installed as CHP (Combined Heat and Power) application with a total efficiency of above 90%. The system will provide baseload electricity and cooling via an absorption chiller utilising the exhaust gas heat to provide cooling. The MTU gas systems offer best in class power density and have been designed specifically to withstand hot and humid conditions. This is especially crucial for the facility in Jakarta where the climate is tropical almost year-round. The MTU power solutions offer an extended Time Between Overhaul (TBO) of 84,000 hours, requiring less maintenance and overhaul intervals for maximum productivity and reliability.
“Deploying generators in a tropical environment like Indonesia comes with a unique set of challenges, especially for a data centre environment where uptime is absolutely critical. We’re proud that our Series 4000 generator sets will help SpaceDC meet the special demands of the location and ensure the highest levels of reliability for their customers,” said Andreas Görtz.
“Working with SpaceDC, we’ve seen great synergy in developing complete power generation solutions that are market-leading in terms of efficiency and reliability. And we are proud that they chose us as a partner to support them with our sustainability service and backup power”, said Waluyanto Sukajat, Acting Managing Director, PT. MTU Indonesia.
