Abstract
The rapidly developing data center industry results in a large amount of energy consumption. Considering its unique demand characteristics, it becomes desirable to improve its energy efficiency by reusing its waste heat. In this paper, an integrated energy management scheme is proposed to optimize the operation cost for a data center microgrid. The waste heat recovered from data center operation is optimally scheduled with other resources in the integrated energy management model to minimize the operation cost of data center microgrid. Taking the uncertain nature of renewable supply, power and heat demand into consideration, a two-stage stochastic programming model is formulated and analyzed under different test cases. The numerical study results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed integrated energy management model.
