A load control method for small data centers participating in demand response programs

摘要: This paper presents a load control method for small data centers, which are rarely studied although they account more than 50% of all centers. The utilizes the network and electrical to power usage participation in demand response (DR) programs, regarded as killer applications emerging smart grid (SG). Traditional center management often directly manipulates energy usage, may be ineffective or impractical centers due their limited resources. Both SG considered cyber-physical systems (CPSs). article proposes an approach that performs DR through cyberspaces targeted center. proposed instructs workload dispatcher select best-suited algorithm when event is issued. Additionally, this also adjusts temperature set-points air conditioners. simulation result shows can achieve 30% reduction DR. A developed.A simulator heterogeneous clusters designed.Power consumption model established.The impact dispatching algorithms on analyzed.
