FEV engineers power, cooling, storage and waste heat recovery solutions that improve energy efficiency, resilience and unlocks available computing capacity of your data center.
FEV energy + resources engineers the complete power, thermal and waste‑heat recovery stack for data centers.
Leveraging our in‑house Energy Flow Optimizer based on digital twins and model predictive control, we support projects from market intelligence to full solution development – across greenfield and brownfield sites.
Limited grid capacity is one of the biggest barriers to new data center developments.
FEV helps clients determine how to secure reliable and scalable power when utility connections are delayed, constrained, or unavailable. We evaluate grid alternatives including behind-the-meter generation, microgrids, renewable energy, energy storage, CHP, and direct power purchase structures.
Outcome: A site-specific energy strategy that enables deployment timelines, minimizes power supply risk, and supports future capacity expansion.
Choosing the wrong energy infrastructure can lock a data center into higher operating costs, scalability limitations, and costly redesigns.
FEV helps operators, developers, and investors evaluate power generation, cooling, storage, and resilience technologies based on site constraints, growth plans, economics, and technology maturity.
Outcome: A technology roadmap and investment-ready decision framework that identifies the optimal solution for long-term performance, resilience, and cost efficiency.
Most data centers still operate with untapped efficiency potential across cooling systems, backup power assets, battery storage, and control strategies.
FEV identifies and quantifies optimization opportunities using digital twins, energy system simulation, and model predictive control.
Outcome: Lower energy costs, improved PUE, increased usable power capacity, and measurable efficiency gains without operational disruption.

Vynox is FEV’s digital twin and energy optimization platform for data centers. By combining simulation and model predictive control, it optimizes the interaction between power, cooling, energy storage and IT loads to improve efficiency, reduce PUE and energy costs, and maximize available IT capacity.
FEV evaluates and optimizes power generation, energy storage, cooling and waste heat recovery as part of a holistic data center energy system. Our simulation-driven approach helps identify resilient, efficient and future-ready infrastructure solutions.
Reliable power starts with the right generation strategy. FEV evaluates grid supply, behind-the-meter generation, fuel cells, CHP systems and renewable energy sources to identify the most resilient and cost-effective architecture for each site.
Energy storage improves flexibility, resilience and energy efficiency. We assess UPS, BESS and hybrid storage concepts to support backup power, peak shaving and optimized energy management.
Cooling is one of the largest drivers of data center energy consumption. FEV evaluates cooling architectures, thermal management strategies and controls to improve efficiency, reliability and compute density.
Waste heat can become a valuable energy resource. We develop concepts for heat recovery, heat reuse and district heating integration to improve overall energy efficiency and support sustainability targets.
Data center energy optimization is the integrated improvement of power supply, cooling, energy storage, backup power, controls, power electronics and waste heat recovery. The goal is to reduce energy costs, improve resilience and maximize the amount of power available for IT workloads.
FEV supports data center operators, developers, investors and technology providers with strategy consulting, energy system engineering, simulation, digital twins and model predictive control. We optimize power and thermal systems across greenfield and brownfield data center projects.
Behind-the-meter power is becoming more important because data centers face growing grid constraints, rising electricity demand and increasing requirements for resilience. On-site generation, energy storage and flexible energy management can reduce dependence on public grid expansion while improving power availability and operational flexibility.
Power electronics connect, convert and control electricity flows between the grid, generators, batteries, UPS systems, cooling equipment and IT loads. Efficient power electronics, transformers and switchgear are essential for reliable power distribution, load management and the integration of flexible energy assets in modern data centers.
Cooling systems are one of the largest sources of energy consumption in data centers. Optimizing cooling architectures, thermal management and controls can reduce operating costs, improve Power Usage Effectiveness and increase the amount of power available for computing equipment.
Model predictive control uses system models and real-time operational data to continuously optimize cooling, power distribution and energy storage. In data centers, MPC can improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption and maintain operational reliability under changing load, weather and grid conditions.
UPS systems provide immediate backup power to protect critical IT loads during outages or power quality events. Battery energy storage systems can support additional use cases such as peak shaving, load shifting and energy optimization. Depending on battery technology and system design, both functions can sometimes be combined to increase the return on installed battery capacity.
AI workloads significantly increase power density, cooling demand and load volatility compared to traditional computing applications. Rapid load changes can create more dynamic power and thermal profiles, requiring optimized power infrastructure, advanced cooling concepts and flexible energy management strategies to maintain efficiency and reliability.
