Solar Batteries: The Key to a More Resilient Data Center
Data centers are critical infrastructure that supports our digital economy. They power everything from our favorite websites and apps to the systems that run our businesses and governments. But data centers also consume a lot of energy, and they are vulnerable to power outages.
Solar batteries can help to make data centers more resilient by providing backup power during outages and storing excess energy from solar panels for later use. This can help to reduce data center costs, improve reliability, reduce environmental impact, and improve security.

Benefits of solar batteries for data centers
Reduced energy costs: Solar batteries can help data centers to save money on their energy bills by storing excess energy from solar panels and using it during periods of peak demand. This can also help to reduce peak demand on the grid, which can lead to lower electricity rates for everyone.

Improved reliability: Solar batteries can provide backup power during outages, helping to ensure that data centers remain operational even when the grid goes down. This is especially important for critical data centers that support essential services, such as healthcare and financial markets.

Reduced environmental impact: Solar batteries can help data centers to reduce their environmental impact by reducing their reliance on fossil fuels. Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy that does not produce greenhouse gases or other pollutants.
Improved security: Solar batteries can help to improve data center security by reducing reliance on the public grid. If the grid is compromised, solar batteries can help to keep data centers operational and protect sensitive data.

Applications of solar batteries in data centers
Solar batteries can be used in a variety of applications in data centers, including:
Backup power: Solar batteries can provide backup power during outages, helping to ensure that data centers remain operational.
Peak shaving: Solar batteries can be used to store excess energy from solar panels and use it during periods of peak demand. This can help to reduce data center costs and peak demand on the grid.
Frequency regulation: Solar batteries can be used to regulate the frequency of the electrical grid. This can help to ensure that the grid remains stable and reliable.
Demand response: Solar batteries can be used to support demand response programs, which can help data centers to save money on their energy bills and reduce their environmental impact.
Microgrids: Solar batteries can be used to create microgrids, which are self-sufficient energy grids that can operate independently of the main grid. Microgrids can help to improve data center resilience and reduce reliance on the grid.

Case studies
A number of data centers around the world are using solar batteries to improve their resilience and sustainability. For example:
Microsoft: Microsoft has installed solar batteries at several of its data centers, including its data center in Redmond, Washington. The batteries provide backup power and help to reduce the data center's reliance on the grid.
Google: Google has also installed solar batteries at several of its data centers, including its data center in Mountain View, California. The batteries provide backup power and help to store excess energy from solar panels for later use.
Apple: Apple has installed solar batteries at its data center in Maiden, North Carolina. The batteries provide backup power and help to reduce the data center's reliance on the grid.

In conclusion, solar batteries are a key technology for making data centers more resilient. They offer a number of benefits, including reduced energy costs, improved reliability, reduced environmental impact, and improved security. Solar batteries can be used in a variety of applications in data centers, including backup power, peak shaving, frequency regulation, demand response, and microgrids.
Solar batteries are a growing trend in the data center industry, and they are expected to play an increasingly important role in making data centers more resilient and sustainable in the future.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
