The power industry produces electricity through fossil fuels, which generates a large amount of carbon emissions. Using renewable energy to produce electricity is an effective way to reduce carbon emissions. With the development of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other fields, which has brought huge computing needs, the data center industry has developed rapidly, and the power load has grown rapidly. The huge energy consumption will generate large energy costs and carbon emissions, which will restrict the development of data centers. Therefore, realizing the low-carbon economic transformation of data centers is the key to the sustainable development of data centers.

[0135] Example
[0136] Four scenarios are designed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method:
[0137] Scenario I: The data center processes the data load in a timely manner without considering energy storage.
[0138] Scenario II: Data centers process data loads in a timely manner and consider energy storage.
[0139] Scenario III: The data center processes delay-sensitive loads in a timely manner and flexibly schedules delay-tolerant loads without considering energy storage.
[0140] Scenario IV: Data centers process delay-sensitive loads in a timely manner, flexibly schedule delay-tolerant loads, and consider energy storage.
[0141] Table 1 compares the electricity cost, electricity purchased from the grid, and the number of servers working under different scenarios. Scenario I has the highest electricity cost because it does not consider energy storage. In this scenario, the lack of flexibility prevents cheaper electricity from being purchased from the grid. In Scenario II, energy storage is considered to add flexibility to the power system. Therefore, in the second scenario, energy storage helps to store cheaper electricity purchased from the grid, so the electricity cost is reduced. In Scenario III, data centers can flexibly schedule delay-tolerant workloads, which enhances the flexibility of the power system. Compared with Scenario II, Scenario III has lower electricity costs and electricity purchased from the grid. Delay-tolerant loads are processed during periods of low electricity prices and abundant renewable energy, resulting in a higher number of active servers at a specific time. Scenario IV has a lower electricity cost compared to Scenario III. In this scenario, the increased system flexibility allows it to purchase more electricity when electricity prices are low, so the amount of electricity purchased from the grid is larger at this time.
[0142] Table 1 Operation results in four scenarios
[0143]
[0144] Figure 1 The figure shows the processing time of the delay-tolerant workload in Case III and Case IV. In Scenario III, the delay-tolerant workload remains relatively stable throughout the scheduling period. In Scenario IV, the delay-tolerant workload varies greatly throughout the scheduling period. In hours 13-14 and 23-24, the data center processes a large amount of delay-tolerant workload due to low electricity prices and abundant renewable energy. In hours 6-8 and 19-22, due to high electricity prices and insufficient renewable energy, less delay-tolerant workload is processed.
[0145] Figure 2 The power load of the data center in four scenarios is described. The load curves of scenarios I and II are similar, and the power consumption curves of scenarios III and IV are similar. The difference in power load between scenarios I and II, and scenarios III and IV is caused by battery charging and discharging. Because the power load changes according to the change in the processing time of the delay-tolerant load, there is a significant difference in the power load between scenarios I and II compared with scenarios III and IV.
[0146] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the power load of the data center includes IT equipment load, cooling equipment load and energy storage charging. The order of power load is: IT equipment load, cooling equipment load, energy storage discharge. The data center requires a lot of energy to maintain the operation of IT equipment. The cooling equipment also consumes a lot of energy to maintain a constant temperature.
[0147] like Figure 4As shown, the data center is powered by the grid, energy storage, and renewable energy. The power supply is ranked as follows: wind power generation 20903kWh, grid-purchased electricity 20274kWh, photovoltaic power supply 4905kWh, and energy storage 1089kWh. The renewable energy system is used to supply power first, and when renewable energy is insufficient, electricity is purchased from the grid. During hours 1-5, 17, 23, and 24, the energy storage is charged due to low electricity prices. During hours 19-22, the energy storage is discharged due to high electricity prices. Energy storage can economically shift electricity from renewable energy and grid-purchased electricity from low demand / price periods to high demand / price periods.
