Case Study: Syracuse University achieves 50% energy savings with Capstone Green Energy Hybrid UPS microturbines

Syracuse University - Customer Case Study

Syracuse University needed to replace an outdated data center and meet escalating demand for more computing and storage capacity while also improving energy efficiency and reliability. To address this challenge, the university worked with Capstone Green Energy and its Hybrid UPS microturbine technology as part of a new green data center strategy.

Capstone Green Energy implemented 12 C65 Hybrid UPS microturbines in a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system, along with absorption chillers, heat exchangers, DC power equipment, and backup battery support. The result was one of the world’s greenest data centers, designed to use 50% less energy and produce fewer greenhouse gases than traditional facilities, while maintaining N+1 redundancy and high reliability.
