Site Location

Google Inc.  American multinational corporation specializing in Internet-related services and products decide to build a automobile factory in Trincomalee, Sri lanka . 

The site situated next to Trincomalee Harbour , the second largest natural harbor in the world, is overlooked by terraced highlands, and its entrance is guarded by two headlands. 

The harbour has 1630 hectares of water, while the entrance channel is 500 metres wide.

Road and rail

Trincomalee is on the eastern end of the A6 and A12 highways in Sri Lanka, as well as the northern end of the A15.
The city is also served by Sri Lanka Railways. Trincomalee Railway Station is the terminus of Trincomalee-bound rail services, the majority of which originate from Colombo Fort.^[69] The station lies close to the northern coast and beaches of the city.

Weather and Climate

Google Data Center

Water and cooling

 

Cooling with water—not chillers

The electricity that powers a data center ultimately turns into heat. Most data centers use chillers or air conditioning units to cool things down, requiring 30-70% overhead in energy usage. At Google data centers, we often use water as an energy-efficient way to cool instead.

We trap hot air and cool our equipment with water.

We've designed custom cooling systems for our server racks that we've named “Hot Huts” because they serve as temporary homes for the hot air that leaves our servers—sealing it away from the rest of the data center floor. Fans on top of each Hot Hut unit pull hot air from behind the servers through water-cooled coils. The chilled air leaving the Hot Hut returns to the ambient air in the data center, where our servers can draw the chilled air in, cooling them down and completing the cycle.

We take advantage of evaporative cooling.

Evaporation is a powerful tool. In our bodies, it helps us maintain our temperature even when outside temperatures are warmer than we are. It also works similarly in our cooling towers. As hot water from the data center flows down the towers through a material that speeds evaporation, some of the water turns to vapor. A fan lifts this vapor, removing the excess heat in the process, and the tower sends the cooled water back into the data center.

We use the natural cooling power of sea water.

Evaporating water isn't the only way to free cool. Our facility in Hamina, Finland uses sea water to cool without chillers. We chose this location for its cold climate and its location on the Gulf of Finland. The cooling system we designed pumps cold water from the sea to the facility, transfers heat from our operations to the sea water through a heat exchanger, and then cools this water before returning it to the gulf. Because this approach provides all of our needed cooling year round, we haven't had to install any mechanical chillers at all.

We save and recycle water.

To better conserve water, we power two of our data centers with 100% recycled water, and are working on capturing rainwater to cool a third. The idea is simple: instead of using potable (or drinking) water for cooling, we use non-drinkable sources of water and clean it just enough so we can use it for cooling.
We use recycled water from various sources. Our Douglas County facility treats city waste water, while our Belgium facility pulls water from an industrial canal. There, we use a large tank filled with fine sand to filter out small particles, leaving the water completely clear (although not suitable for drinking). While it's not always possible or cost-effective to use recycled water, we're optimistic that we can find sustainable solutions for the majority of our water use.

Measuring efficiency

Measuring and improving our energy use

We're focused on reducing our energy use while serving the explosive growth of the Internet. Most data centers use just as much non-computing or “overhead” energy (like cooling and power conversion) as they do to power their servers. At Google we’ve reduced this overhead to only 11%. That way, most of the energy we use powers the machines directly serving Google searches and products. We take detailed measurements to continually push toward doing more with less—serving more users while wasting less energy.

We take the most comprehensive approach to measuring PUE

Our calculations include the performance of our entire fleet of data centers around the world—not just our newest and best facilities. We also continuously measure throughout the year—not just during cooler seasons.
Additionally, we include all sources of overhead in our efficiency metric. We could report much lower numbers if we took the loosest interpretation of the Green Grid's PUE measurement standards. In fact, our best site could boast a PUE of less than 1.06 if we used an interpretation commonly used in the industry. However, we're sticking to a higher standard because we believe it's better to measure and optimize everything on our site, not just part of it. Therefore, we report a comprehensive trailing twelve-month (TTM) PUE of 1.11 across all our data centers, in all seasons, including all sources of overhead.

Figure 1: Google data center PUE measurement boundaries. The average PUE for all Google data centers is 1.11, although we could boast a PUE as low as 1.06 when using narrower boundaries.

Google data center PUE performance

We've continued improving our PUE every year since we first started reporting our numbers in 2008. As of Q2 2013, the TTM energy-weighted average PUE for all Google data centers is only 1.11, making our data centers among the most efficient in the world.

Green Power

Renewable energy 

 

At Google, we're striving to power our company with 100% renewable energy. In addition to the environmental benefits, we see renewable energy as a business opportunity and continue to invest in accelerating its development. We believe that by helping power more of the world with renewable energy, we're creating a better future for everyone.

Using green power at Google

We're currently using renewable energy to power over 34% of our operations, and we continue to look for ways to increase our use of clean energy. This includes trying new, innovative technology at our offices and buying green power near our data centers.

We pilot new technology on our campuses

When testing new renewable energy technologies on our campuses, we evaluate them against a few criteria: They must make good business sense, have potential for long-term significant impact and transform the industry. For example, in 2007, we installed the largest corporate solar panel installation of its kind—1.7 MW—at our Mountain View campus. We’ve grown the size of the system to 1.9 MW, and it generates enough electricity to power 30% of the peak load of the buildings on which it sits.

We purchase green power near our data centers

Currently, very little of the world’s power is from renewables like wind and solar. We're working on changing that by buying renewable energy from our utility providers and wind farms near our data centers. We get clean energy at competitive prices, the wind farm owners get the money they need to finance new clean energy facilities, and together we make the grid a little bit greener.

Investing in a clean energy future

We're investing in clean energy so it's more accessible for our company and for everyone. And we've done that in ways that makes business sense. In fact, we've committed over $1 billion to renewable energy projects. We're helping create a clean energy future that's better for our business and the environment. 

Recycle Plan

Extending our equipment lifecycle

From the moment we decide to purchase a piece of equipment to the moment we retire it, we reduce, reuse, and recycle as much as we can.

We reduce by sourcing locally

Whenever possible, we use local vendors for heavier components like our server racks. Even if material is more expensive locally, we can recoup the extra cost by reducing shipping charges from farther locations where the material may be cheaper. By limiting the shipping distance, we reduce the environmental impact of transportation.

We reuse existing machines

Before we buy new equipment and materials, we look for ways to reuse what we already have. As we upgrade to newer, higher-speed servers, we repurpose older machines either by moving them to services that don’t require as much processing power, or by removing and reusing the components that are still in good working condition.
Since 2007, we've remanufactured and repurposed enough outdated servers to avoid buying over 300,000 new replacement machines.

We recycle as much as we can

At each location, we maximize the recycling of all our data center material. When we can’t repurpose our equipment, we completely erase any components that stored data, and then resell them into the market, giving this equipment a second life. We break down any components that can’t be sold into raw materials like copper, steel, aluminum, and plastics for responsible recycling.
