Data centres - big deployment with a small splash

Listen Later

How will various degrees of deployment of data centres impact a small country’s energy system? In this 2020-interview, Stefan Petrovic, now special advisor at the Danish Energy Agency, explains a very interesting study on Denmark by Stefan Petrović, Alessandro Colangelo, Olexandr Balyk, Chiara Delmastro, Maurizio Gargiulo, Mikkel Bosack Simonsen and Kenneth Bernard Karlsson.

And he has some unusual - but useful - recommendations in the Peer Review-section of the episode...

  • The study: The role of data centres in the future Danish energy system
  • Study on scenicness: The implications of landscape visual impact on future highly renewable power systems: a case study for Great Britain
  • The offshore-onshore conundrum: Preferences for wind energy considering spatial data in Denmark
  • Fabian Bühler’s papers 
    • Industrial excess heat for district heating in Denmark
  • Spatiotemporal and economic analysis of industrial excess heat as a resource for district heating
  • Also, here's a link to a 2020-episode of The Interchange, which had an interesting discussion on data centres

    • Sound design by Dea Cisar.
