德国电信探索利用剩余可再生能源为比特币挖矿提供动力

德国电信开始探索使用剩余可再生能源为比特币挖矿提供动力的方案，据称此举将使德国与美国和芬兰保持一致

Deutsche Telekom has started exploring the use of surplus renewable energy to power Bitcoin mining in a bid to help stabilise Germany's electricity sector.

德国电信已开始探索利用剩余的可再生能源为比特币挖矿提供动力，以帮助稳定德国电力部门。

The operator will pilot a Bitcoin mining project with private bank Bankhaus Metzler through its T-Systems Multimedia Solutions (MMS) subsidiary, gathering data and insights into how leftover renewable energy can be employed in the crypto-currency process.

该运营商将通过其 T-Systems 多媒体解决方案 (MMS) 子公司与私人银行 Bankhaus Metzler 试点比特币挖矿项目，收集数据和见解，了解如何在加密货币流程中使用剩余的可再生能源。

The peaks and troughs of weather-dependent renewable energy are creating a need to balance grids, particularly in the solar and wind sectors, Deutsche Telekom noted.

德国电信指出，受天气影响的可再生能源的高峰和低谷需要平衡电网，特别是在太阳能和风能领域。

The US and Finland are particularly advanced in using such techniques, it added, noting that the "flexible load" of the Bitcoin mining segment lends itself well to the power-project's goals.

它补充说，美国和芬兰在使用此类技术方面尤其先进，并指出比特币采矿领域的“灵活负载”非常适合电力项目的目标。

The aim is to use the data created in the pilot to help stabilise power grids, which Deutsche Telekom predicted could benefit wind- and solar-power generating companies.

其目的是利用试点中创建的数据来帮助稳定电网，德国电信预测这将使风力和太阳能发电公司受益。

Deutsche Telekom has lined up Metis Solutions to manage the Bitcoin mining project, the containers for which are located in a solar-powered site operated by façade-maker Riva Engineering.

德国电信已安排 Metis Solutions 来管理比特币挖矿项目，该项目的集装箱位于由幕墙制造商 Riva Engineering 运营的太阳能发电站。

"The excess energy is converted into digital values through the miners," explained Oliver Nyderle, head of Digital Trust and Web3 Infrastructure at T-Systems MMS. "We call this digital monetary photosynthesis."

T-Systems MMS 数字信任和 Web3 基础设施负责人 Oliver Nyderle 解释说：“多余的能源通过矿工转化为数字价值。” “我们称之为数字货币光合作用。”

T-Systems MMS is managing the devices used and Bankhaus Metzler is eyeing the opportunities for broader financial services offered by digital assets.

T-Systems MMS 正在管理所使用的设备，Bankhaus Metzler 正在关注数字资产提供的更广泛金融服务的机会。

The bank established a digital assets unit in 2022, focused solely on blockchain technology. Deutsche Telekom noted that it has operated a Bitcoin node as part of a broader Web3 strategy since 2023, which the energy trial expands.

该银行于 2022 年成立了数字资产部门，专注于区块链技术。德国电信指出，自 2023 年以来，它一直在运营比特币节点，作为更广泛的 Web3 战略的一部分，能源试验也扩大了这一战略。

"Blockchain technology is gaining increasing importance in operational business outside the financial industry," said Hendrik Konig, head of digital assets at Bankhaus Metzler, arguing the case for working with trustworthy partners on such schemes.

Bankhaus Metzler 数字资产主管 Hendrik Konig 表示：“区块链技术在金融行业以外的运营业务中变得越来越重要。”他认为，在此类计划中与值得信赖的合作伙伴合作的理由。
