As the key infrastructure in the information era, the internet data center (IDC) has witnessed increasingly emerging across the world, introducing a number of opportunities and challenges in both technology and economic fields. A typical IDC has an electricity consumption level of tens of megawatts. According to IEA , the power consumption of data centers worldwide is about to reach 270 TWh by 2022, representing around 2% of global electricity consumption. In China, the power consumption of data centers is projected to be around 78 TWh by 2035, accounting for 4% of total power consumption in the country. Consequently, the effective operation of IDCs in terms of energy efficiency and flexibility attracts significant attention to electric power utilities due to the potential impacts on power systems. In this presentation, we will discuss the fundamentals of IDC and its energy-related applications. We will discuss the IDC power consumption modeling the flexible IDC energy management, coordinated operation between IDC and power system, and potential future research directions.
