The issue we are tackling is the Renewable Energy Sources Act (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Renewable_Energy_Sources_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Renewable_Energy_Source...) in Germany. As of 2021 up to 6.000 wind turbines drop out and will no longer earn enough money from selling their energy. Therefore they must be switched off. With our EDC we are able to provide the operator with a second revenue stream.
The economic effect: Continued operation of the wind turbine. The EDC only uses ~5% of the generated power. ~95% of green electricity will be fed to the grid.
Side effect: Preparing for the upcoming need of Edge Data Centers.
- nabla9 7y agoThe point I don't understand why EDC's have to be located in the turbines. As far as I understand, Germany has good energy market. You can build datacenter where it is the most economic and buy the electricity from the supplier. The cost of locating data centers this ineffectively must make the network cost and maintenance very expensive.
