Schaeffer says , “ Diesel technology is the gold standard for emergency backup power systems because of its reliability , superior response time , electrical load carrying capacity , delivered power quality , as well as its self-contained fueling .”
A number of Federal , state , and local regulations govern the type of generators , as well as the environmental related performance and permits for their use . The most advanced diesel generators are equipped with selective catalytic reduction and particulate matter control systems that minimize emissions impacts from regular testing and exercise of the systems , as well as if they are called into action . The use of renewable diesel fuel is another opportunity to contribute to the overall sustainability of data center operations .
Our highly connected digital world relies increasingly on data centers to store and process a vast amount of information that drives our banking , education , health care , and communications systems , as well as many other networks . The rapid growth of artificial intelligence will only increase the demand for computing and data centers .
“ While this legislation streamlines some aspects of the permitting process , it does not alter the environmental aspects of others , ensuring that the units can be properly sited and respectful of local interests ,” says Schaeffer .
The Forum will provide written testimony as well on both versions of the legislation ( SB0474 & HB0579 ).
The Engine Technology Forum is dedicated to promoting a greater understanding of the benefits of advanced internal combustion engines and the fuels that they use and how these contribute to a sustainable future .
