Wartsila power plants can operate with multi fuels
Wärtsilä’s power plants enable the transition to a sustainable, reliable and affordable power system. The main cornerstones are very high energy efficiency, outstanding operational flexibility, and multi-fuel operation. The applications range from stationary and floating base- load power plants to dynamic grid stability and peak load services, balancing large input fluctuations of wind and solar power, as well as serving a wide variety of industrial self-generation needs. This brochure outlines the capabilities and designs to handle gaseous and liquid fuels as well as multiple fuels. Multi-fuel power plants make power generation more reliable by being able to adapt to any situations that may occur regarding fuel availability or affordability. They can even switch fuels while running, for example changing to liq- uid fuel mode if the gas supply is suddenly interrupted. This capability provides 24/7 security of supply, hedge against fuel price increases and preparation for future fuel infrastructure development. Wärtsilä’s multi-fuel power plants can run in the following operations…

Data centers will consume 8% of worlds energy in 2020
The rapid increase in cloud-scale services is driving a growth in data centers. Resources and support-infrastructures inside these centers consume a lot of energy. It is estimated that, currently, data centers consume about 3% of the world’s electricity production [1] and should double in every 5 years [2]. By 2020, data centers should consume approximately 8% of the total world’s energy [3] and emit 340 metric megatons of CO2 annually [4]. ********** Data centers in the U.S. consumed 2% of all electricity usage in 2010 [9]. Utility, as a primary source, provides electricity for data centers. Diesel and natural gas generators are employed as emergency sources during a utility power outage. Since coal and gas plants are the dominant sources of the electricity produced in the U.S., the current growth in data centers energy consumption will produce large carbon emission and incur high electricity cost. Environmental concerns, as well as energy prices, obligate companies to build green data centers, which partially or completely use renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar. Incorporating renewable sources can reduce carbon footprint, energy price, and loss, but their intermittent nature is a key challenge. New generation of data centers will be either own renewable energy sources or buy it directly from an existing off-site generation (co-location). More importantly, they will play an active role instead of being a pure consumer to the utility.
