Immersion-cooled power components and modelling

该项目是一个雄心勃勃的创新项目，专注于推动主流计算应用的下一代浸没式液冷电力电子技术。超级计算机和分布式计算正在重新分配任务，以寻找COVID-19治疗方法并了解病毒传播机制。然而，COVID-19对在家工作和上学的挑战加大了数字基础设施的压力以及我们对它的依赖。COVID-19前的中心已经消耗了世界上2%的能源，并对稀缺的水资源造成了巨大压力，用于冷却一个典型的Google DC每天消耗100万加仑（彭博社）.SD在浸入式冷却电源组件方面的创新旨在提高计算性能，减少排放，并帮助加速浸入式冷却，高性能计算（HPC）系统成为主流。SD计划调整我们的工作方法并构建更多软件模型和低压、单人安全测试装备。该开关将使我们能够为我们的专利电源转换拓扑转向更灵活、更低成本的设计迭代模型。拟议的开关将使更深入的工作能够远程或隔离地进行，并将限制延长锁定期的影响。其目的是创建复制关键电力基础设施的平台，以便可持续发展能够为能源密集型和社会意义重大的事业创新和改进设计。

This project is an ambitious innovation project focused on advancing next-generation immersion liquid-cooled power electronics for mainstream computing applications.Supercomputers and distributed computing are being retasked to find COVID-19 cures and understand virus spreading mechanisms. However, COVID-19 challenges of home working and schooling have amplified pressure digital-infrastructure and our dependency on it. Pre-COVID-19 datacentres already consumed \>2% of the world's energy and place a significant strain on scarce water resources for cooling a typical Google DC consumes \>1M gallons per day (Bloomberg).SD's innovation in immersion-cooled power components aims to improve computing performance, reduce emissions and help accelerate immersion-cooled, high-performance-computing (HPC) systems into the mainstream.SD plans to adapt our working methodologies and build more software models and low-voltage, single-worker safe test harnesses. This switch will enable us to move to a more flexible and lower-cost design iteration model for our patented power conversion topology.The proposed switch will enable a greater depth of work to be carried out remotely or in isolation and will limit the impact of extended lock-down periods. The aim is to create platforms that replicate critical power infrastructure so that SD can innovate and iterate designs for energy-intensive and socially significant causes.
