1.3 Description of the installation

The subject of the application is the emergency power supply for building1
To ensure the uninterrupted power supply of the data center in case of
a power failure, is an emergency power system (NEA) with a total of 36 emergency diesel engines
systems (NDMA) provided. One of the NDMA is what is called a home generator for the
Building technology of the office building and the power supply of the safety-related off
facilities.
The NDMA are of the type:
number type FWL Purpose
1 Caterpillar C18 660kVA 1.27MW home generator

35 Caterpillar C175-20 - 4000kVA 8.26MW Data Hall Generator
Table 3.2 generators
The NDMA are piped from the above ground central urea tank for
Building 1 with a volume of urea is supplied via a ring line.
page 7

Each data hall generator in building 1 has a diesel tank with a volume of 40 m³, the house generator has a diesel tank
with a volume of 7 m³, the pipeline contains approx. 2 m³. In total, this is approx. 1,409 m³ of diesel for building
1. The
Diesel tanks are supplied with diesel via a ring line.
The diesel consumption per data hall generator is around 700 l/h. The urea consumption is around 100 l/h.
The central urea tank and the diesel tanks of the generators are filled via a filling area
filled. A diesel and urea cleaning system is available for cleaning.
The generators are in containers. Each generator has a day tank of urea with a volume of 0.75 m³ (the home
generator does not).
Each generator has a separate cooling circuit with a volume of 1.1 m³. The cool
medium consists of water and glycol in a ratio of 1:1.

The generators have a lubricant circuit with a volume of 1 m³.
Each Data Hall generator is equipped with an SCR catalytic converter for nitrogen reduction
prepares.
The exhaust air from each generator is discharged via an exhaust pipe. The 36 chimneys of the
NDMA are routed in 9 bundles with 4 exhaust pipes over the roof.
1.4 Hours of Operation
In the event of a failure of the high-voltage system (Mainova/Syna), a fault in the medium-voltage distribution
or the transformers, the Data Hall generators and the house generators are started as emergency power systems.
The 35 data hall generators in building 1 start with 80% and the house generator with 100% load (load case A). Should
a data hall generator in a segment group fail
the remaining Data Hall generators in this group are run up to 100% load
ren. If a Data Hall generator failure occurs in each group, then for building 1 up to
28 Data Hall generators run at 100% load (load case B).
The house generator does not have a redundancy system and therefore always runs in load cases A and B
with up to 100%.
Load case A: 35 NDMA building 1 with 80%
plus house generator with up to 100% load

Load case B: 28 NDMA Building 1 with 100%
plus house generator with up to 100% load

1.8 Wastewater
No production-specific water is produced during operation of the system.
The bottling area is connected to a Class I separator that drains into the public sewer (SW sewer).
The condensation water from the exhaust pipes is neutralized in the Neutra boxes and fed into the public sewer (SW
sewer).
The rainwater from the generator installation area is not contaminated and is discharged into the Lachegraben.
Permission to discharge is sought as part of the building permit process.
None of the systems described above are listed in the Wastewater Ordinance AbwV, an indirect discharger permit is
not required.
Compliance with the limit values of the drainage statute.
1.9 Use of Waste Heat

It is not possible to use the waste heat generated during the operation of the NDMA, since the operating times of the
systems are usually very short and discontinuous.

The filling surface is tight and durable. In the event of a leak when filling the diesel tank, the escaping diesel fuel
is held back in the separator. The retention of urea on the filling area is permissible because the conditions of
No. 4.3.3 TRwS 781 are met. The pipelines are designed either as double-walled systems with leak detection
or as single-walled pipelines according to TRwS 780 pipeline type 1 (or 2) with non-detachable type A
connections.
The urea tank is double-walled and equipped with a leak detector and overfill protection and solenoid valve to
interrupt the filling.
The diesel tanks are arranged directly on the generator containers. These are double-walled tanks equipped
with leak detectors and overfill protection and a solenoid valve to interrupt filling.

Each generator is located in a container that is set up outdoors. The container also contains the 0.75 m³ urea
tank (only for the Data Hall generators).

like the lubricant circuit with a volume of 1 m³.
The bottom of the container is a steel tub with a retention volume of 2.5 m³ and
equipped with a leak detector. A leak in the container triggers an alarm.
Each generator has its own cooling circuit with a volume of 1.1 m³. The coolant consists of water and glycol in a
ratio of 1:1. The cooling circuit consists of welded steel pipes. Pursuant to Section 21, Paragraph 3 of the
AwSV, no retention is required for single-walled pipelines in cooling systems with a water/glycol mixture.
The Neutra boxes are closed, single-walled plastic boxes that are set up outdoors. The alkaline pellets for
neutralizing the waste water are solid substances of WGK 1. The filling weight of the neutral boxes is 0.15 t.
The requirements of § 26 AwSV for the use of solid water-polluting substances are met by protecting the alkali
pellets from the ingress of rainwater
are. There are no other requirements. The neutralized condensation water from the
Exhaust pipes can be fed into the company sewage system.
The diesel tanks are double-walled. According to No. 7.2.1 of the LöRüRl Hessen is at
double-walled tanks made of steel up to a maximum of 100 m³ no retention of extinguishing water

conducive.
Compliance with the water protection requirements is confirmed by submitting evidence and

1.15 EIA Review

The system for emergency power supply consists of emergency power diesel engine systems (NDMA) with
a rated thermal input (FWL) of 242.8 MW for building 1 (subject of the application
1st partial permit) and 521.3 MW for the entire site with 3 buildings.
The system is listed in Annex 1 to the UVPG under the following number:
1.1.1 “X” EIA mandatory
Construction and operation of a plant for generating electricity, steam, hot water,
Process heat or heated exhaust gas through the use of fuels in a
Combustion facility (such as power plant, combined heat and power plant, heating plant, gas turbine, ver
internal combustion engine system, other combustion system), including the associated steam boiler, with a
rated thermal output of more than 200 MW
Partial approvals according to Section 8 of the BImSchG are being applied for for the emergency power systems
with the associated systems for supplying diesel to the individual buildings. The emergency power systems in
buildings 1-3 form a common system within the meaning of the BImSchG.
With the application for the 1st partial approval according to § 8 BImSchG for building 1, the effects of the entire
system with buildings 1-3 are to be presented for the overall assessment
len.
An environmental impact assessment and an FFH impact assessment are being carried out.
Due to the project of the emergency power supply of the Data Center Campus FKQ data center with diesel
systems, there are none for all protected goods

or no significant risks or conflicts.
In summary, a project-related impairment of the examined areas
of community importance are excluded.
The emergency required for the planned data center Data Center Campus FKQ
potential environmental impacts related to power supply
have been extensively examined and assessed. The protected goods human beings were considered,
Plants and animals, area, soil, water, air, climate, landscape and cultural heritage
and other tangible assets, including possible interactions.
page 27

As a result of the investigation, significant conflicts or impairments are not to be expected for most protected
assets.
Also for the FFH areas DE-5917-301 within the study area:
Schwanheimer Düne/ NSG Schwanheimer Düne and DE-5917-305: Schwanheimer Forest so
as for the bird sanctuary DE-5916-402: Untermain locks, all of which belong to the European Natura 2000 system
of protected areas, impairments can be ruled out (see Chapter 2.5.1).
However, the possible night-time operation of the NDMA in emergency power mode and the associated noise
development result in risks for the protected object of humans, including human health, as well as for the protected
objects of animals and animals

Plant.
The residents of the purely residential area in Nied in the area of Alzeyer Strasse and Dürkheimer Strasse may
be affected by the emergency power supply, as their nightly peace can be disturbed. Taking into account the very
low probability that an emergency power supply will be required, this can already be done for economic reasons
Reasons to be assumed that the operator of the data center costs
wants to keep intensive diesel consumption as low as possible, the maximum permissible Be
operating time of 940 hours per year (see Chapter 4.2.3.2) as well as the TA Noise under Pt.
7.1 listed exception, according to which to ward off an operational emergency
Immission guideline values according to TA Noise may be exceeded, a possible Be
impairment of the human protected asset is not assessed as significant.
For the strictly protected bats, the nocturnal noise can have masking effects
and the echolocation-based hunting of bats for prey
make more difficult. But here, too, due to the very low probability of an Er
requirement of a nightly emergency power supply, the limitation of the operating time to 940
hours a year as well as the possibility of flying bats to be off for a short time
give way to other, unpolluted hunting areas a possible impairment of the protected animal
tes plants and animals assessed as not significant.
In addition to this possible noise pollution, the project-related emission of
Carbon dioxide may be associated with risks for the climate as a protected asset.
Due to the relatively small amount and according to the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Act
zes (TEHG) does not require consideration of the cumulation rule for emergency power generators
gaten will be associated with the project-related emission of carbon dioxide
page 28

However, the possible impairment of the climate as a protected asset is also assessed as insignificant.
Nevertheless, efforts should be made to further reduce carbon dioxide emissions and, if possible, other, less
climate-relevant ones
energy sources are used.
In summary, the project to provide an emergency power supply for the Data Center Campus FKQ data center
with diesel systems does not result in any or any significant risks or conflicts for all protected assets.
Accordingly, the effects of the zero variant for all protected assets do not differ significantly from the effects
that are to be expected with the implementation of the preferred variant. It must also be taken into account that
the absolute zero variant, ie completely dispensing with an emergency power supply, is not possible for reasons
of security of supply for the data center. Possible alternatives to the planned emergency power diesel systems
are also ruled out (see Chapter 3). The zero variant could therefore only be implemented if the planned data
center was also dispensed with.
1.16 Baseline Report

The emergency power supply system is defined in the 4th BImSchV under number 1.1. listed and is also subject to
Directive 2010/75/EU Industrial Immissions Directive (IE-RL).
For systems that are subject to the Industrial Emissions Directive, an initial status report (AZB) must be prepared
before commissioning. The AZB can be submitted at a later date up to the start of construction or commissioning of
the plant. A study concept for the AZB was agreed in advance with the
expert and the approval authority (RP Darmstadt).
1.17 Summary
The system is set up and operated in such a way that the obligations under § 5 BImSchG for protection
of the environment are met.
