Microsoft hits milestone to replace datacenter generators with fuel cells
Microsoft has successfully tested a hydrogen fuel cell system with 3MW capacity, and plans to install a similar system at a research datacenter to test the feasibility of replacing diesel backup generators with an energy source that generates as little carbon dioxide emissions as possible.
At this stage of the tests, Microsoft says it does not yet have a planned date for its first operational deployment at a production datacenter, but when it does occur, this will likely be at a new facility in a location where air quality standards prohibit diesel generators.Plug Power According to Microsoft, these tests are significant because it is the first time that a hydrogen fuel cell system has been demonstrated to operate at the same scale as a typical backup generator used at a datacenter.
