Smart Integration of Electricity Grid, Micro Grids and Data Center
| 2022:890 | Mikko Siltala, Tina Stark, Mattias Vesterlund, Rise
The increasing growth of the ICT-sector when introducing IoT and 5G has made data center a part of the industrial ecology. Data center is a power demanding industry and is using about 1-2% of the global electricity production, in this project the aim has been to study how the electricity pricing could affect the data center operation.
With machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, it is possible to reduce the operation cost of a data center microgrid and with a variable electricity pricing the use of renewable electricity could be encouraged.
