Abstract
Recently, the increase in demand of online applications and services that are hosted at data centers, have increased the power consumption of the data centers tremendously. In this chapter, we have addressed the problem of minimizing the operational cost of the power consumption in the data center. We have presented a new idea to power up the data center from more than one Smart grid. The algorithm titled “Smart Data center” is also presented in the chapter that minimizes the operational cost of the data center. The algorithm operates on long term and real time price markets from the local grid, low cost surplus power from the remote grid, and the backup power in the batteries of Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). The performance of the algorithm in analyzed using theoretical analysis.
