Ingeteam Supplies Energy Storage Systems for Pioneering Data Centre Microgrid in Dublin

Ingeteam has supplied a 10 MW / 20 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) together with the Power Plant Controller (PPC) and SCADA system for a pioneering microgrid deployed at Pure Data Centres Group (Pure DC) campus in Dublin, widely presented as Europe’s first DC microgrid designed to power a data centre. The project marks Ingeteam’s third energy storage project in Ireland since the company entered the market in 2020.

Developed as part of the Orion Phase 1 project, the installation includes the 10 MW / 20 MWh BESS, already commissioned and operating, integrated with power stations and an advanced Energy Management System (EMS). During construction, the facility has been supported by a temporary 10 MW energy centre. This project is equipped with our liquid cooled technology INGECON SUN STORAGE C Series, creating a 10 MVA Grid Forming without any power deration.

The permanent microgrid will combine three energy centres with on-site battery storage, bringing the total installed capacity of the campus to 110 MW. The system is designed to operate independently from the national grid while maintaining flexibility to connect once grid capacity becomes available.

Located within Pure DC Dublin campus, the on-site energy infrastructure provides dispatchable capacity to support operations during the initial development phase and is expected to evolve into a hybrid configuration combining grid electricity with on-site energy systems. As access to grid capacity becomes a growing constraint for digital infrastructure and demand for AI and large-scale computing accelerates, solutions such as microgrids are emerging as a key enabler for the next generation of data centres across Europe.
