Optimization System, Optimization Device, Optimization Method, and Program for Optimizing Facility Operating Costs

Abstract

【Problem】To provide an optimization system for minimizing the operation cost of a data center while preventing thermal damage to very expensive electronic components such as a graphics board. 【Solution means】An optimization system having an annealing device, comprising: a problem generation unit that generates an optimization problem related to the operation cost of a facility; a variable definition unit that defines binary variables for executing the optimization problem by the annealing device; a physical parameter acquisition unit that acquires one or more physical parameter values related to the physical characteristics of the facility; a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization conversion unit that converts the optimization problem into a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problem using the one or more physical parameter values; a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problem transceiver that transmits and receives the quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problem to and from the annealing device; and a facility operation control unit that controls the operation of the facility based on the solution obtained from the annealing device. 【Selected drawing】Figure 1
