Ireland’s leap of faith to power data centers

Under Ireland’s Large Energy User Action Plan (LEAP), 10 MW-plus data centers must provide at least 80% of their energy demand through new onsite renewable energy generation and storage. But whether data centers can meaningfully contribute to Ireland’s decarbonization depends on the success of its grid buildout, reports Blathnaid O’Dea.

New optimization method improves heat pump sizing by accounting for part-load efficiency

Austrian researchers have developed an optimization framework that accounts for part-load efficiency when sizing and operating heat pumps, enabling more realistic system planning. A case study in Innsbruck found the approach could cut electricity consumption by 4.5% and annual costs by 2.9%, while relaxed formulations significantly reduced computation times.
