The Load Control Strategy of Datacenter

Abstract

With development of information technology and growth for various types of cloud computing demand, many data centers have been deployed in cities, and their characteristics of high energy consumption, high peak-load are becoming increasingly prominent, which make a huge impact on urban grid. According to workload prediction in different time intervals, this paper proposes a simplified piecewise load control strategy of datacenter, which could reduce power consumption and peak-load by dynamically adjusting the number of working servers and CRACs. Finally, a simple example is used to validate the performance of our strategy.
