How much energy does an IDC use?

Studies have shown that for every 1 Kw of heat generated by the IT equipment, around 1.5 Kw of electricity is needed for cooling . This high energy consumption presents a significant opportunity for energy conservation in the cooling system in an IDC.

What are the cooling technologies for IDC?

This paper provides a comprehensive review of cooling technologies for IDC, including air cooling, free cooling, liquid cooling, thermal energy storage cooling and building envelope. Firstly, the environmental requirements for the computer room and the main energy consumption items for IDC are analyzed.

How do IDCs and grid energy resources relate to cyber-physical entities?

Compared to existing work, the proposed approach treats IDCs and grid energy resources (BESSs, renewable energy sources, etc.) as integrated cyber-physical entities and investigates their coupling impacts. The proposed framework also models and considers different kinds of computation requests and their operational constraints.

What is the energy conservation potential of IDC in China?

The energy conservation potential of IDC in China is significant, as highlighted in a report published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of the People’s Republic of China. The report reveals that more than half of Chinese IDCs have a PUE value between 1.3 and 1.5, with 37% of IDCs having a PUE value greater than 1.5.

How do we determine the capacity of cyber-physical resources in IDCs?

The model determines the capacity of cyber-physical resources in IDCs (servers, on-site BESSs, and renewable energy sources) through solving an optimization model that minimizes the IDC network’s investment, operation, and reliability costs. Ref. proposes a hierarchical planning framework for an IDC network.

Is room-level cooling a problem for Green IDC initiatives?

The inefficiency of room-level cooling can lead to increased energy consumption and cooling costs, which are undesirable for green IDC initiatives. 4.2.2.
