Outline

This paper develops an energy management system (EMS) for an artificial intelligence (AI) data center coexisting with renewable energy. Under a cost-minimization framework, the EMS for a renewable energy coexisting data center (RCDC) jointly optimizes AI task scheduling, on-site renewable energy utilization, and electricity market participation. It maximizes the economic benefits of RCDC operation under both wholesale and retail market participation models. Empirical evaluations using real-world electricity prices, data center power consumption, and renewable energy generation tracking data demonstrate significant electricity cost savings resulting from the coexistence of renewable energy and AI data centers.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways: Empirically demonstrates the potential for electricity cost reduction through the coexistence of renewable energy and AI data centers. Demonstrates the effectiveness of an EMS that integrates AI task scheduling, renewable energy utilization, and electricity market participation. Analyzes economic impact across both wholesale and retail market participation models.
Limitations: This is an empirical evaluation using real data, but may be limited to data from a specific region or data center. Generalizability to various types of AI workloads and renewable energy sources needs to be examined. Further research is needed on the long-term stability and scalability of the EMS. There is no cost analysis for system construction and operation.
