The introduction of Vertiv’s dynamic grid support marks a significant step forward in the evolution of critical digital infrastructure.
Vertiv installed a grid-interactive UPS system for Swedish colocation data centre provider Conapto.
Karsten Winther, Vertiv president in Europe, Middle East, and Africa, said, “The collaboration between Vertiv, Conapto, and Fever Energy represents a significant milestone in the data centre industry, and builds on our own 15-year partnership with Conapto.
“With the introduction of dynamic grid support, we are empowering Conapto to not only enhance operational efficiency in its data centres, but also contribute to grid stability, and sustainability when paired with energy alternatives, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of critical digital infrastructure,” Karsten added.
Stefan Nilsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Conapto, said, “In line with Conapto’s commitment to sustainability and societal contribution, we believe that data centres should not only consume energy but also play an active role in supporting the grid. By introducing dynamic grid support, we can help reduce Co2 emissions by enabling more renewables to be added to the energy mix.”
“Our partnership with Vertiv and Fever Energy is a testament to this ethos as we work towards creating a more resilient and sustainable digital infrastructure for Sweden and beyond,” Stefan added.
The partnership with Vertiv and energy supplier Fever Energy will allow Conapto to actively contribute to grid stability by participating in fast frequency response and frequency containment reserve demand.
The companies have installed Vertiv Liebert EXL S1, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system that provides an integrated solution for critical power protection and grid support capabilities, at Conapto data centres.
