YICHANG, China, April 8, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
On March 29, 2022, Three Gorges Group completed the first phase of its
Dongyuemiao Data Center Project in Yichang, Hubei. Huawei Digital Power
provides the overall data center infrastructure solution for this project. The
data center is located on the right bank of the Three Gorges Dam — one of the
world's largest hydropower stations. Once all three phases of the project are
completed, the data center will house 26,400 racks, spanning over 100,000
square meters — becoming the largest green data center cluster in central China.

The first phase of the project, costing CNY 845 million, built 4,400 racks with
a footprint of 40,000 square meters, including a data center equipment room
building, a communications command building, and a 35 kV substation. The entire
power consumption of this first phase, amounting to over 200 million kWh
electricity per year, will be supplied using clean hydropower generated by the
Three Gorges Dam. The project is naturally cooled by water from the river to
significantly reduce energy consumption and boost energy efficiency.
The Dongyuemiao Data Center is built in accordance with the national class-A
equipment room standards. It utilizes industry-leading technologies along with
proprietary, secure, and controllable products, to become the first
large-scale, green, zero-carbon data center in China. Huawei provides the
overall L0+L1 solution, including data center system architecture design, main
equipment supply, and integrated project delivery and management.
The main equipment in the full-stack solution provided by Huawei Digital Power
includes 160 modular equipment rooms, 38 PowerPODs, 320 SmartLi devices, 160
high-temperature fan walls, 1 iCooling@AI (smart cooling system), and 1
AI-Robot (for intelligent inspection). The equipment helps Three Gorges Group
build a simplified, intelligent, safe, and green data center.
The whole China is actively working towards its recently announced carbon peak
and neutrality goals. A major part of the process is reducing carbon emissions
in data centers. Huawei Digital Power has spared no effort in helping Three
Gorges Group build its Dongyuemiao Data Center into a green and zero-carbon
data center. To achieve this goal, Huawei applies its cutting-edge iCooling@AI
solution to control the annual power usage effectiveness (PUE) within 1.25. At
the same time, the PowerPOD+SmartLi power supply solution ensures long-term
reliable operation of the data center and reduces the power supply and
distribution footprint by 40%, so it is able to house 500 more racks. The whole
solution is prefabricated, so the customer can quickly deploy its various
phases. This means TTM is 50% shorter compared with traditional data center
construction practices.
The Dongyuemiao Data Center is a key digital transformation project for the
Three Gorges Group and part of its 14th Five-Year Plan, which prioritizes
green, digital development. The data center project will help the country
seamlessly transfer computing resources from East China to West China. With its
central location in Hubei province near the Three Gorges Dam, the project has a
reliable supply of clean energy along with a high level of security. It is yet
another step toward expanding the economy along the Yangtze River, and
supporting national digitalization across China.
