Digitalization

Integrating data centers into energy and innovation ecosystems can drive sustainable growth - Finland shows how it can be done. As our reliance on data grows and AI-driven technologies become indispensable, data centers are emerging as critical infrastructure for modern economies. Their expansion is an unavoidable reality – but the real opportunity lies in transforming them into strategic assets, shaping the future of energy, innovation and competitiveness.

In recent years, software evolution has completely revolutionized the way we work with drives, right from the design stage, through to commissioning and operation. Now we've released MyDrive Suite, a software hub where all Danfoss Drives software tools are centrally located.

Data centers can reduce their impact to the point of climate neutrality in three ways, all without compromising data availability: lowering power usage effectiveness (PUE), integrating renewables and storage into data centers, and using waste heat from data centers for heating and/or desalination.

It’s estimated that more than 30% of all the global clean water produced for household use/cities is lost in leakage. Often digitalization and VSDs are the key components to help limit water scarcity issues instead of creating new water facilities.

The theme for this year’s EU Sustainable Energy Week is ’Shaping Europe’s Energy Future’ – that future holds plenty of potential and must rest on further integration across sector and policies to ensure we optimize our energy systems for optimal performance and efficiency.

The three trends of decentralization, digitalization and electrification have the potential to disrupt the conventional electricity system, and they reinforce each other in a virtuous cycle.

It may have been around for a while. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t evolved. Far from it. The VLT® AutomationDrive FC 300 Series is now tougher and more intelligent than it has ever been before.

We have to exploit the potential of digital, connected solutions. Smart control of heating, cooling and ventilation can double the performance of these technologies. On average, energy consumption can be reduced by 38% per building.

In a series of posts we present 10 ready-made solutions for more energy efficiency. We’ll discuss how it’s important to get the basics right and how taking a system approach is the way to go. We’ll talk about energy recovery and sector coupling. And, finally, well explain why it’s essential to exploit the potential of digitalization to create new business models and optimize processes.
