Microsoft proves the utility of renewable energy underwater data centers

The staff is washing the retrieved underwater data center.

The work of Microsoft (Renewable Energy)-Marine Expert Team has proved that the concept of underwater data center is feasible and practical. Now, operating such equipment in offshore wind power facilities will become more interesting.

Earlier this summer, the team named "Project Natick" completed a prototype of a container-sized data center. The data center was deployed at the European Ocean Energy Center (EMEC) in Orkney, Scotland in the spring of 2018. Tidal energy turbines are currently underway. Test there.

Since then, team members have tested and monitored the performance and reliability of 864 servers stored in sealed containers. According to the monitoring data, they have determined that the server failure rate in water is only 1/8 of that on land.

This North Island project is connected to the Orkney Islands power grid, which is fully supported by wind, solar and offshore renewable energy technologies deployed by EMEC.

Spencer Fowers, a key technician of the Microsoft Special Projects Research Group, said: "We have been able to operate well in most grid environments that are not reliable for onshore data centers." According to a blog post, project manager Ben Cutler is now considering placing a similar facility with an offshore wind power station.
