Research on the Collaborative Interaction between Electricity and Computing Power for Green Development-Taking Data Centers as an Example

The allocation of electricity and computing resources is an important factor affecting economic development and social stability. Through research on the coordinated operation of computing power and electricity, resource allocation can be optimized, resource utilization efficiency can be improved, investment in power grid construction can be reduced, fossil energy consumption and carbon emissions can be reduced, and low-carbon and green development of electricity can be promoted. This article takes data centers as an example to study and analyze the planning and operation related issues of computing power collaboration. The focus is on the perspective of power supply and demand balance, and proposes a theoretical method for data centers to participate in demand response and achieve collaborative interaction with the power grid. Firstly, the composition of the adjustable load potential of the data center and the mechanism of participating in grid interaction were analyzed. Then, a data center energy supply and load energy consumption model is established. Finally, considering delay sensitive loads and delay tolerant loads, based on the time scheduling mechanism, spatial scheduling mechanism, and server optimization management mechanism of the data center, a potential calculation model for the participation of the data center in power demand response is proposed. This study provides theoretical support for the inclusion of the data center in power grid scheduling.
