Dr Aleksandr Donodin, based in the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies (AIPT), has received just one of 12 fellowship grants from The Royal Academy of Engineering to support his work examining fibre-optic networks to find solutions to the increasing power demands of data centres. Dr Donodin will be exploring the use of the networks and bringing together bismuth-doped fibre amplifiers which have tiny amounts of the metal bismuth added to them, and optical frequency combs which are used to measure and control light very accurately. It will be the first time this combination is explored in detail and if successful could cut power consumption in optical networks by 30–50% per bit. It will also enable O-band range of light wavelengths to reach transmission capacities beyond 200 terabytes per second.

Pete Aston, Specialist Connections Engineer at Roadnight Taylor, discusses the findings of a new report Powering Great Britain’s Data Centre Ambitions, explaining how data centre developers are facing mounting grid connection challenges that can derail even the most promising projects. The interplay between technical, regulatory and commercial complexities in grid connections creates challenges that most developers underestimate until they’re deep into the process. Pete is confident that, with the right planning and collaboration in place, there is enough grid capacity to meet the data centre industry’s predicted increased power demands into the future.

Ben Pritchard, AVK CEO, discusses the findings of a joint Wartsila and AVK-SEG white paper: Data centre dispatchable capacity: a major opportunity for Europe’s energy transition, which provides new analysis on how data centre microgrids can reduce grid infrastructure spending, emissions and wasted energy, while providing a balanced path for the energy transition. The analysis finds that powering the data centres across Europe by optimised microgrids could create a significant bank of dispatchable power, supporting the entire continent’s energy transition.
