SPIE Network Services delivers latest energy management - demonstrably sustainable, clearly more efficient

16 billion kilowatt hours were consumed by German data centres in 2020, according to industry association Bitkom. This is significantly more than the electricity consumption of the city of Berlin in the same period. Energy management systems are therefore gaining a great deal of attention, especially with regard to increasing industrial energy efficiency. It shows that companies can reduce their energy consumption by up to 10% in the first few years with the help of energy management systems. This leads to falling monthly energy costs, so that these systems are worthwhile not only in ecological but also in economic terms.

Companies that want to plan, build, operate and ultimately certify their data centre on the basis of DIN EN 50600 can no longer avoid using an energy management system, because DIN EN 50600 Part 4 requires that energy efficiency be monitored and that the entire technical system (climate, electricity) can be controlled.

SPIE Network Services GmbH can help you here with a lot of experience in the realisation – we are at your disposal!

Our solution includes the following modules:

With our energy management system, we ensure reliable recording, consolidation, visualisation and evaluation of all energy-related values. The system offers the user clear monitoring, systematic analyses and business intelligence. To this end, all relevant energy values and KPIs are recorded and visualised in the form of a cockpit at both micro and macro level, regardless of the manufacturer. The recorded values are the enabler for targeted and sustainable action. The energy management system provides evidence of the use of renewable energies (REF) and the utilisation of waste heat (ERF). It is also an indicator of the efficiency of the overall system (electricity consumption IT to total electricity: PuE) and provides information on the efficiency of cooling generation and distribution. Our energy management system is based on our ‘CYCLE’ software and is a process solution that focuses on customer requirements rather than the product. ‘CYCLE’ relies on scalable and flexible modules. We digitise the requirements into modular e2e processes in order to offer all parties involved permanent transparency. This enables decisions to be made quickly and based on facts and, if necessary, escalation paths to be kept short.

Example of innovative energy cockpits

Only with the help of EMS was it possible to observe and perfectly adjust the behaviour of the complex cooling system. Without this, the adaptation could have taken much longer and probably ended without a positive outcome.

Added value of digital energy management

Detailed energy analyses create transparency about energy use and all energy flows in the company. The structured approach of the standard brings noticeable cost savings for the company.
e2e processes can be mapped, scalable to other properties, reduction of process costs
Permanent transparency of all energy values for efficient control
Safety and transparency in energy processes, early warning system through alert generation
Optimisation of energy consumption and costs
