Rolls-Royce provides mtu Trigeneration Plant for Largest Data Center in Romania
The completed campus will feature five data centers and provide a significant boost to the region’s global IT infrastructure competitiveness
Rolls-Royce, along with its distributor partner Knopf & Wallisch (K&W), has supplied three mtu customized and containerized combined cooling, heat, and power plant (CCHP) trigeneration units to Romanian cloud service provider ClusterPower. They will be used for the efficient and sustainable energy supply at its new technology campus near the southern Romanian city of Craiova, where the IT company will open the largest data center in Romania.
The generator sets are based on mtu 20-V 4000 L64 FNER gas engines, which fulfil the strictest emissions standards, allow for quick ramp-up and ramp-down, offer a wide range of load operations, and high performance at high temperatures. The gensets are hydrogen-ready, offering the ability to blend 25% hydrogen along with natural gas as the fuel and can even be transformed into a pure hydrogen engine in the future. In this way, they contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions. This was an important factor for ClusterPower when selecting a partner to supply the energy system for the project.
