Abstract:
|
The power grid has become a critical infrastructure,
which modern society cannot do without. It has always been a
challenge to keep power supply and demand in balance; the more
so with the recent rise of intermittent renewable energy sources.
Demand response schemes are one of the counter measures,
traditionally employed with large industrial plants. This paper
suggests to consider data centres as candidates for demand
response as they are large energy consumers and as they are
able to adapt their power profile sufficiently well. To unlock
this potential, we suggest a system of contracts that regulate
collaboration and economic incentives between the data centre
and its energy supplier (GreenSDA) as well as between the
data centre and its customers (GreenSLA). Several presented use
cases serve to validate the suitability of data centers for demand
response schemes. |
