Energy Efficiency (Springer Science and Business Media LLC) 2019

Data centres in future European energy systems—energy efficiency, integration and policy

In waste-heat sales, set outlet temperature by cooling technology (air 25-35 °C, liquid up to 60 °C, two-phase up to 90 °C) and check heat-pump requirement against the district-heating generation (45-55 °C for 4G).

  • Fourth-generation district heating can run with supply temperatures of 45 to 55 °C.

Data-Driven Generator Transient Prediction for Digital Twin Decision Support

In data-centre generator load-transfer and retransfer sequencing, size load steps against generator voltage and frequency limits, and split steps whose prediction band crosses a limit into smaller steps.

  • Even at steady load, the low-inertia, governor-controlled generator showed low-frequency oscillations of about 3 V and 0.5 Hz.

Design and Development of a Next-Generation Medium-Voltage Architecture for AI Data Centre Infrastructure

Make the 0.1-10 Hz oscillation, 1.40 peak-to-mean ratio and coincidence factor explicit inputs in the AI campus load model, and check storage and buffering against grid ramp limits.

  • Conductor mass falls by 97.1%, electrical footprint by 58.1%, annual PUE from 1.42 to 1.11 and 15-year TCO by 32.4%.

WSEAS TRANSACTIONS ON POWER SYSTEMS (World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society (WSEAS)) 2026

Design and Prototype of a Microgrid for Enhancing Reliability of Power Supply for Artificial Intelligence Data Centers

Follow the energy-balance chain in a PV/BESS sizing helper (daily load split, conversion losses, usable depth of discharge, power rating against night peak); report usable-energy duration rather than nameplate duration and make DoD an explicit input.

  • Covering 60% of demand needs 81,857 kWh/day from PV after 5% DC-AC and 10% battery losses.

Discussions of Cold Plate Liquid Cooling Technology and Its Applications in Data Center Thermal Management

For loads of 50 kW per rack and above, evaluate a hybrid cold-plate scheme (main loads on cold plates, remaining heat in air) for a PUE target below 1.2.

  • Cabinets with enclosed water-cooled backplanes can save nearly 35% of annual energy compared with air-cooled backplanes.

Effects and optimization of airflow on the thermal environment in a data center

Make aisle containment the default in raised-floor or in-row cooling: containment raised ASE from 65.69% to 85.57-90.25% and brought SHI close to zero.

  • Without containment, cabinet No. 19 had a mean inlet temperature of 30.1 °C and a maximum of 36.7 °C, and ten cabinets went above the 27 °C limit.

Empirically-Calibrated H100 Node Power Models for Reducing Uncertainty in AI Training Energy Estimation

Calculate AI training cluster energy and power demand from measured node power (here 7.3-7.79 kW in training, 76% of TDP) rather than TDP; a TDP-based estimate inflated a 20,000-GPU cluster by 19 GWh.

  • Even computationally intensive training workloads operated at only 76% of the 10.2 kW node TDP rating.

Energy Consumption and Energy Saving Analysis of Air-Conditioning Systems of Data Centers in Typical Cities in China

Show evaporative free-cooling feasibility with a potential-hours study that bins the city's hourly wet-bulb distribution against mode thresholds (13 and 15 °C); in a humid climate direct evaporative mode ran only 262 h a year.

  • The air-system retrofit gave PUE below 1.39 everywhere; the best case was Xinjiang, 1.62 to 1.18 (69.26%).

Energy efficiency enhancement in two European data centers through CFD modeling

Set up the retrofit workflow as KPI-guided: with a validated CFD model compute RCI, RHI, RTI and the recirculation index, then test rack repositioning, separators, sealing unused bays and removing badly placed ventilation units in sequence.

  • KPI limits: ASHRAE recommended 18-27 °C and allowable 15-32 °C inlet temperatures.

Energy Efficiency Measurement Method and Thermal Environment in Data Centers—A Literature Review

In PUE comparisons state the facility type (edge, SMB, enterprise, colocation, hyperscale) and assign IT/facility power categories per The Green Grid definitions in detail; PUE across types is not directly comparable.

  • No study of staff thermal comfort in data centres was found; in one computer lab PMV was 1.1-1.4, outside the ISO ±0.5 band.

Energy Efficiency Through Waste-Heat Recovery: Hybrid Data-Centre Cooling in District Heating Applications

When connecting waste heat to DH, fix the DH generation early: for 5G and 4G direct heat-exchanger connection suffices (PUE below 1.6, ERF above 0.85), while 3G needs a high-temperature heat pump (PUE about 2.1, payback about 14 years).

  • The hybrid cooling system has a DLC loop at 25-30 °C and a CRCC (chilled-water rack cooler) loop at 10-15 °C.

Energy performance analysis of multi-chiller cooling systems for data centers concerning progressive loading throughout the lifecycle under typical climates

Calculate cooling plant efficiency from the lifecycle-average COP reflecting progressive IT load ramp rather than the design-point COP (in Beijing 2.9 lower than design).

  • Free-cooling hours at PLR 1 ranged from 5921 h in Ulanqab to only 158 h in Hong Kong.

Energy Performance Study of a Data Center Combined Cooling System Integrated with Heat Storage and Waste Heat Recovery System

Assess heat recovery from chilled-water return with a water-source heat pump and hot-water storage in annual-hour simulation; match the winter and summer outlet temperature difference (45 and 30 °C) to the user's need.

Enhancing Data Center Low-Voltage Ride-Through

Add a ride-through check to the electrical module: compare the selected UPS input tolerance (IEC 62040-3 class) and IT tolerance (ITI/CBEMA) against the applicable grid-code LVRT envelope for the site's region, and flag the gap.

  • IEC 62040-3 (UPS) and ITI/CBEMA (IT loads) are the least strict compared with proposed TSO grid codes, with a substantial performance gap.

Enhancing Grid Resilience for Giga-Watt Scale Data Centers Using High Voltage Circuit Breaker Operated Braking Resistors

In gigawatt-scale data-centre interconnection studies, add the load-loss scenario from IT load transferring to UPS in a voltage dip (for example 5 × 200 MW with a 1:1 split giving 500 MW) to the grid frequency and voltage analysis.

  • Data-centre plant sizes are cited as ranging between 500 MW and 2 GW.

Evaluation of Local Thermal Environment in Operational Data Center

Before adding servers to an existing hall, measure the local thermal environment of the target rack in place with server simulators and score it with IOM; RCI, SHI or RTI average away within-rack non-uniformity.

  • Removing blanking plates raised IOM by 31%, 358%, 718%, 84% and 85% across the five layouts, with inlet temperatures up by as much as 29%; in two layouts IOM exceeded 2.0.
