China Securities is expected to optimize the strategic allocation of China’s economy
In the context of carbon neutrality, it is recommended to pay attention to IDC manufacturers with excellent energy efficiency control and upstream refrigeration equipment providers that play a key role in reducing energy consumption in the data center. In the context of carbon neutralization, data centers have more stringent requirements on energy efficiency. Pue requirements in western regions such as Gui’an, Qingyang, helingel and Zhongwei are lower than 1.2, and pue requirements in eastern regions such as Yangtze River Delta, Wuhu, Zhangjiakou, Tianfu, Chongqing and Shaoguan are lower than 1.25. At present, only about 40% of data centers in China have pue requirements lower than 1.4 At the same time, Beijing, Shanghai and other places have successively connected the power consumption of the data center to the monitoring, and adopted the way of increasing the electricity price for the data center with excessive energy consumption. The operating cost of the data center with high pue will be greatly increased. At the same time, it will face the risk of transformation and shutdown. The industrial capacity is expected to be cleared one after another, and the market share is expected to be concentrated in the data center with better energy efficiency control.
In addition, according to IDCC data, the energy consumption generated by the air conditioner in the machine room accounts for 40% of the total energy consumption of the data center. Reducing the energy consumption demand from the refrigeration end is the best solution. At present, the indirect evaporative cooling unit can achieve pue of 1.25, and the magnetic levitation phase change heat pipe can reduce pue to 1.09. In the future, advanced refrigeration technology is expected to become the mainstream of reducing energy consumption in the data center. It is suggested to pay attention to the upstream refrigeration equipment supplier of the data center.
From the perspective of investment suggestions, the digital economy has risen to a national strategy. As a key link in the national digital economy strategy, computing from the east to the west is expected to optimize the national computing power allocation.
