German Noris Network Chooses Huawei Smart Lithium Battery UPS to Promote Sustainable Data Center Development

Data centers are the foundation of the digital world. With the rapid growth in global digitalization, the demand for data centers is increasing, as is resource consumption. How can the data center industry achieve sustainable development? Based on its own innovative practices, German data center colocation and cloud service provider noris network AG (noris network) believes that efficient UPS combined with intelligent lithium battery power distribution solutions are key elements for promoting sustainable development in data centers.

Innovation-Driven Data Centers

As a professional third-party data center colocation and cloud service provider, noris network has long provided high-security data center services to clients such as banks, manufacturing enterprises, and governments. Noris network has always focused on how to leverage innovative technology to improve the reliability of data centers, reduce operational costs, and achieve sustainable development.

To this end, they decided to deploy an innovative intelligent lithium battery UPS solution in their data center project in southern Nuremberg, in collaboration with partner Wöhrle Power Supply Systems Ltd. and Huawei Digital Energy.

 

      

Huawei Smart Lithium Battery Can Reduce TCO by 35%

The UPS system provided by Wöhrle is equipped with the WISUS-Li intelligent energy storage battery (Huawei Smart Lithium Battery), which boasts high energy density and a small footprint. Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, it can save 70% of the footprint, allowing more space for deploying IT cabinets and directly increasing revenue.

Huawei's smart lithium battery uses lithium iron phosphate cells, which are safer and more stable, paired with a multi-level intelligent BMS management system that can identify faults and perform maintenance in advance, achieving intelligent management. This greatly simplifies maintenance work and improves availability. In contrast, traditional lead-acid batteries are dumb devices, with more complex installation and maintenance, leading to higher maintenance costs.

Furthermore, compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, Huawei’s smart lithium batteries have twice the lifespan. Therefore, in this project, even though the initial investment in batteries increased by 20%, the data center's total lifecycle cost (TCO) was ultimately reduced by 35% because the batteries do not need to be replaced. "The lifespan of lithium batteries is longer, with up to 5000 cycles, ten times that of lead-acid batteries, making the TCO more competitive," summarized Markus Steiner, Chief Technical Officer of Wöhrle.

Stable Operation and High Efficiency

Florian Sippel, Chief Operating Officer of noris network, stated: “Currently, the southern Nuremberg data center has already started operations, and the intelligent lithium battery UPS system is running very stably. Its efficiency reaches up to 97% in normal mode, effectively reducing power loss and saving electricity costs. Moreover, Huawei’s smart lithium batteries have left a great impression on us in terms of saving space and reliability."

In the future, noris network will continue to collaborate with outstanding partners such as Wöhrle and Huawei Digital Energy, continuously improving power supply solutions to build greener and more reliable data centers, providing superior ICT services to customers.
