Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of computing center building design technology, and in particular to a scalable modular computing center building design method. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the digital economy, the demand for computing power has exploded. As the core carrier of digital infrastructure, computing centers are constantly upgrading in terms of construction scale and functional requirements. Existing computing center architectural designs mostly adopt traditional fixed layout models, which have the following prominent problems: First, the spatial adaptability is poor. The building structure does not match the installation and operation requirements of core facilities such as computing equipment and liquid cooling systems, which can easily lead to problems such as crowded equipment layout and chaotic pipeline laying, affecting the stability of equipment operation. Second, the modularity is low. The integration of various functional areas is insufficient, and there is a lack of standardized interfaces, making it difficult to achieve rapid expansion and functional upgrades, and unable to flexibly respond to dynamic changes in computing power demand. Third, the energy utilization efficiency is low. The heat dissipation system mostly adopts a single cooling method, with low waste heat recovery and utilization rate, resulting in a high power usage efficiency (PUE) of the computing center, which does not meet the requirements of green and low-carbon development. Fourth, the security and control system is imperfect. There is a lack of scientific methods for quantitative assessment of security risks, and the deployment of environmental monitoring nodes is unreasonable, making it difficult to achieve accurate detection and dynamic control of security hazards. Fifth, the expansion cost is high and the cycle is long. Traditional expansion methods require large-scale modification of the building structure, which is complex and affects the normal operation of existing computing equipment.
