Ukuqonda ubungozi obuhlobene nokushisisa kwesikhungo sedatha kubalulekile. Uma okokusebenza kwesikhungo sedatha kusebenza ngaphezu komkhawulo oshisayo onconywayo, akusebenzisi amandla engeziwe kuphela, kufinyeza ubude besikhathi sokuphila, futhi, ezimeni ezinzima kakhulu, kuholela ekunqamukeni kwesikhungo sedatha.
I-inthanethi yomhlaba wonke isebenza ngokushelela ngenxa yezikhungo zedatha eziningi emhlabeni jikelele, eziwumgogodla womhlaba wethu wedijithali. Ukuqinisekisa ukwethembeka nokusebenza okuzinzile kwezikhungo zedatha sekuyindaba ebalulekile esingeke siyishalazele.
Lapho ugesi wesikhungo sedatha unqamuka, imiphumela ingaba mibi. Abasebenzisi abalahlekelwa ukufinyelela ezinsizeni ezibalulekile kuphela, kodwa ukulahlekelwa okukhulu kwezomnotho nakho kungase kwenzeke. Ngokocwaningo olwenziwa yisikhungo socwaningo saseMelika, ukuphela kwesikhungo sedatha kungaholela cishe ku-$10,000 ekulahlekeni komnotho ngomzuzu.
NgoMashi 3, 2020, isikhungo sedatha seMicrosoft Azure empumalanga ye-United States sabhekana nokuphazamiseka kwesevisi amahora ayisithupha, okuvimbela amakhasimende ekufinyeleleni izinsizakalo zamafu ze-Azure. Ukwehluleka kwesistimu yokupholisa kube yimbangela yalokhu kucisha. Ehlobo lika-2022, iYurophu yabhekana nokushisa okukhulu. Zombili izikhungo zedatha ye-Google Cloud ne-Oracle e-London zibe nokuhluleka ngenxa yamazinga okushisa aphezulu, okubangele ukuphela kwesistimu.
Esinye sezizathu ezenza izikhungo zedatha zibe nokwehluleka wukunganakwa kokuvimbela ukushisa ngokweqile. Ukushisa ngokweqile kungaholela ekuhlulekeni okusabalele kwe-IT, njengoba okokusebenza kuvame ukuvala ngokuphendula ukushisa okukhulu.
Ukwengeza, ingxenye eyinhloko evame ukunganakwa ekuphathweni okushisayo kwesikhungo sedatha ibhethri le-lead-acid, elivame ukusetshenziswa ezinhlelweni ze-UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuqhubeka kwamandla. Izinga lokushisa elilungile lokusebenza kulawa mabhethri lilinganiselwa ku-25 degrees Celsius. Kuyibhalansi ethambile; kuwo wonke amadigri angu-5–10 akhuphuka ngaphezu kwalo mkhawulo, ubude bempilo yebhethri le-asidi yomthofu bungancipha ngohhafu.
Lokhu kuzwela kumazinga okushisa aphezulu kugcizelela isidingo sokugcina izimo zokushisa ezizinzile ngaphakathi kwezikhungo zedatha.
Ukutshala imali kumasistimu okupholisa kubalulekile ekugcineni nokulawula izinga lokushisa ngaphakathi kwezikhungo zedatha. Izikhungo zedatha yesimanje ngokuvamile zisebenzisa izinhlobonhlobo zezixazululo zokupholisa, okuhlanganisa ukunemba kwesimo somoya, ukupholisa uketshezi, namasu okulawula ukugeleza komoya. Lawa masistimu asebenza ngokuhambisana ukuze akhiphe ukushisa kahle futhi aqinisekise ukuthi okokusebenza kusebenza ngaphakathi kwemingcele ephephile yokushisa.
Uma isistimu yokupholisa ihluleka, isengadala isikhungo sedatha ukuthi sishise kakhulu. Kunconywa ukuthi i- Isistimu yokuqapha ibhethri ye -DFUN ifakwe inzwa yezinga lokushisa elizungezile kanye nomswakamo, engathuthukisa ukuqapha kwebhethri nemvelo ngaphakathi kwezikhungo zedatha, inikeze impendulo yesikhathi sangempela. Lapho amazinga okushisa eqala ukuchezuka ebangeni elilungile elisethwe ngaphambilini, qalisa izexwayiso, ukwazisa ithimba labaphathi ngokushesha.
Ukuvimbela ukushisa ngokweqile kwesikhungo sedatha kubalulekile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuqhubeka nokusebenza kahle. Ngokuqonda indima ebalulekile yokulawula izinga lokushisa—ikakhulukazi ngokuphathelene nempilo yebhethri—kanye nokusebenzisa izixazululo zokuqapha, izikhungo zedatha zingathuthukisa izinyathelo zazo zokuvimbela ezingozini zokushisa ngokweqile.
