Schneider Electric 2024

Recycling and Circularity of Li-Ion Batteries

Add chemistry (LFP/NMC/NCA), module construction (bolted or welded), battery passport availability, take-back/EPR programme and declared recycled content to the battery catalog.

  • Li-ion batteries are UN Class 9 dangerous goods.

Reframing Data Center Fire Safety as a Socio-Technical Reliability System: A Systematic Review

Ask for a fire-safety design file that covers a lifecycle plan (aligned with NFPA 75 and NFPA 76) including emergency response, damage control and post-fire recovery, not only prevention and suppression.

  • The search found 806 records (Scopus 330, Web of Science 476); twelve empirical studies were synthesised and benchmarked against NFPA 75 and NFPA 76.

arXiv preprint (Oklahoma State University / New York University) 2026

Regime-Adaptive Weighted Ensemble Learning for Computing-Driven Dynamic Load Forecasting in AI Data Centers

For operations and grid-interaction features, use regime-aware (idle/ramp/high) minute-resolution IT load forecasting with job-scheduler signals (active jobs) as inputs, rather than only historical kW.

  • Relative to the strongest baseline (1D-CNN) the method improves NRMSE by 66.1% and NMAE by 80.2%.

European Commission 2026

Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the energy efficiency of data centres in the EU - COM(2026) 500 final

Set the PUE target for new designs against the bands in the report (below 1.2 excellent, above 1.5 needs improvement) and possible future minimum-standard thresholds, noting that the 500-1000 kW class averaged 1.64.

  • EU data centres consumed 68 TWh of electricity in 2024, expected to reach 114 TWh by 2030 (3.2% of EU electricity).

Open Compute Project Foundation 2026

Report: Field Pilot of Low Carbon Concrete

Write the slab embodied-carbon target into the specification together with an EPD requirement and tie it to national or regional benchmarks as a percentage; a 30% reduction against the control is a low-risk starting point.

  • Heat of hydration is lower in Mixes 3 and 4, which matters little for this indoor project but helps mass concrete.

European Commission, DG ENER (Viegand Maagoe and COWI) 2023

Reporting requirements on the energy performance and sustainability of data centres for the Energy Efficiency Directive - Task A report: Options for a reporting scheme for data centres

Add an "in scope of EED Article 12" check that computes installed IT power from nominal IT equipment power and compares it with the final-text 500 kW threshold, not the 100 kW proposed in this report.

  • Average PUE of 4-5 for small data centres is quoted from the EURECA project.

European Commission, DG ENER (Viegand Maagoe and COWI) 2023

Reporting requirements on the energy performance and sustainability of data centres for the Energy Efficiency Directive - Task B report: Labelling and minimum performance standards

Add local design limits (Noord-Holland design PUE of at most 1.16, German 27 degree inlet temperature) as configurable warnings rather than hard rules, since some are drafts or local.

  • The example roll-out is metrics in year 1, voluntary pass-or-fail in year 3, rating in year 5 and mandatory requirements in year 6.

European Commission, DG ENER (Viegand Maagoe and COWI) 2023

Reporting requirements on the energy performance and sustainability of data centres for the Energy Efficiency Directive - Task C report: EU repository for the reporting obligation of data centres

Plan an "EED report export" in the design and operations model that can pre-fill the EU database template: rated IT kW, floor areas, energy, water, heat reuse and renewable fields.

  • Incoming and outgoing data traffic (PB) must be less than the corresponding bandwidth (Gbps) x 3.942.

Proceedings of the 2018 3rd Joint International Information Technology,Mechanical and Electronic Engineering Conference (JIMEC 2018) (Atlantis Press) 2018

Research on Availability of Data Center UPS Power Supply System

Offer 'UPS + utility (mains) dual bus' as a topology template beside 2N and N+1, with an RBD calculation that shows it can match 2N for dual-corded IT load.

  • Power-system failures are cited as 72.2% of data-centre failures.

World Electric Vehicle Journal (MDPI AG) 2023

Research on Calendar Aging for Lithium-Ion Batteries Used in Uninterruptible Power Supply System Based on Particle Filtering

Plan UPS battery replacement from the RUL of the weakest cell rather than the string average; in a series string one cell sets the replacement date for the whole string even when others have years of life left.

  • Per-cell SOH estimation RMSE ranged from 0.15% to 9.07% (MAPE 0.16% to 6.85%).

Open Compute Project Foundation 2022

Reservoir and Pumping Unit (RPU) Specification, Ver 1.0

Model AALC (RPU plus door or rack liquid-to-air heat exchanger) as a cooling option for air-cooled halls, counting the RPU's 4RU space, 75 kg mass and the 2%/5% parasitic power caps against rack U-space, weight and power budgets.

  • AALC total power is at most 5% of rated cooling capacity, of which the RPU takes at most 40%.

Retrofit Optimization of Raised-Floor Plenum Thermal Performance for Energy-Efficient and Sustainable Operation of Non-Standard Campus Data Centers

For plenum imbalance, consider a 50%-perforated transverse baffle about 0.3 m from the unit outlet; 50% open gave a smaller resistance increase than 30% (8.5% against 18.7%).

  • For S4, SHI fell from 0.42 to 0.35, maximum rack inlet temperature fell from 27.2 °C to 26.7 °C, and all racks met the 27 °C ASHRAE recommended limit.

IEEE Access (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)) 2026

Review of the 800-VDC Power Delivery Architecture and Isolated 800-V to 48-V Converter Solutions for Future AI Data Centers

Define 800 VDC unipolar, ±400 VDC bipolar and 48/54 VDC busbar as separate voltage classes in the single-line diagram, each with its own conductor ampacity, breaker pole count and clearance (IEC 60664-1) checks.

  • The OCP Open Rack V3 PSU specification targets above 97.5% peak efficiency and at least 96.5% across 30%-100% load.
