Project description Data Centres in an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly Internet Show the project objective Hide the project objective Despite the ongoing efforts on energy efficiency improvements,, the lower energy consumption per data centre does not compensate the cumulative increasing energy demand, due to the combined action of increasing load density in the computer room and rising digitization of human activities. Hence data centres are consuming increasing amount of energy, with a negative impact on the environment and on power supply continuity. The GEYSER project aims to step well beyond today's Green data centres sustainability efforts by researching and delivering an innovative conceptual and software framework aimed at improving and trading-off local energy efficiency and carbon reduction footprint against a broader system-level smart city energy efficiency, while maximizing the use of renewable energy. GEYSER will originally combine innovative AC/DC data center optimized design practices with real time smart synergistic IT infrastructure (computing, storage), cooling and power subsystems for energy monitoring and control, with flexible supply/demand load and energy management within green energy-led marketplaces and geographical renewable energy supply-aware load balancing. GEYSER future green networked data centres will be able to monitor, control, reuse and optimize their energy consumption and production, from renewable energy in particular, within the framework of a holistic representation of energy (either power or heat) and along the underway roadmap towards acting as energy prosumers. Expected outcomes will be beyond-SoTA values for energy efficiency metrics, i.e PUE below 1,20 and CUE and ERE improvement by 30% in average. The effectiveness of the GEYSER technologies in meeting the planned objectives will be proved through a two-stage validation process, consisting of a simulation-based lab trial, followed by a real life one year validation in four operational data centres, partially powered by renewable energy, located in Italy, Germany and The Netherlands Fields of science engineering and technologycivil engineeringurban engineeringsmart citiesnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwareengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsrenewable energy Programme(s) FP7-ICT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Information and communication technologies Topic(s) ICT-2013.6.2 - Data Centres in an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly Internet Call for proposal FP7-SMARTCITIES-2013 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP - Collaborative project (generic) Coordinator ENGINEERING - INGEGNERIA INFORMATICA SPA Address Piazzale dell'agricoltura 24 00144 Roma Italy See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Massimo Bertoncini (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution € 752 032,00 Participants (10) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all ZURCHER HOCHSCHULE FUR ANGEWANDTE WISSENSCHAFTEN Switzerland EU contribution € 268 058,00 Address Gertrudstrasse 15 8401 Winterthur See on map Region Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Zürich Zürich Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Thomas Michael Bohnert (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window RHEINISCH-WESTFAELISCHE TECHNISCHE HOCHSCHULE AACHEN Germany EU contribution € 314 064,00 Address Templergraben 55 52062 Aachen See on map Region Nordrhein-Westfalen Köln Städteregion Aachen Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Ernst Schmachtenberg (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window SINGULARLOGIC ANONYMI ETAIREIA PLIROFORIAKON SYSTIMATON KAI EFARMOGONPLIROFORIKIS Greece EU contribution € 502 350,00 Address Achaias 3 & troizinias 14564 Nea kifisia See on map Region Αττική Aττική Βόρειος Τομέας Αθηνών Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Stelios Pantelopoulos (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window WATTICS LIMITED Ireland EU contribution € 244 320,00 Address 5 st alban's road D08 R5Y6 Dublin See on map Region Ireland Eastern and Midland Dublin Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Antonio Ruzzelli (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window ABB LIMITED Ireland EU contribution € 264 000,00 Address Belgard road tallaght D 24 Dublin See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Olivier FLORIAN (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window ASM TERNI SPA Italy EU contribution € 90 534,00 Address Via bruno capponi 100 05100 Terni See on map Region Centro (IT) Umbria Terni Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Mauro Listante (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window ALTICOM BV Netherlands EU contribution € 97 856,00 Address Blankenstein 302 7943 PM Meppel See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Marleen Bijker (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window STICHTING GREEN IT CONSORTIUM REGIO AMSTERDAM Netherlands EU contribution € 196 986,00 Address Keizersgracht 62 1015 CS Amsterdam See on map Region West-Nederland Noord-Holland Groot-Amsterdam Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact JAAK VLASVELD (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window SURF BV Participation ended Netherlands EU contribution € 0,00 Address Moreelsepark 48 3511 EP Utrecht See on map Region West-Nederland Utrecht Utrecht Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Maurice Bouwhuis (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window UNIVERSITATEA TEHNICA CLUJ-NAPOCA Romania EU contribution € 248 800,00 Address Str memorandumului 28 400114 Cluj napoca See on map Region Macroregiunea Unu Nord-Vest Cluj Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Adriana Ochis (Mrs.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window
