Abstract

For smart grid, multi-tenant data centers play a major part in the demand response program due to their large energy demand. Emergency demand response is critical in preserving the electrical infrastructure (i.e., the grid) in emergency situations, such as extreme weather events. Further economic demand response programs can stabilize the energy market by shifting the electricity demand to off-peak durations. This chapter presents the possible solutions to the demand response problem in multi-tenant data centers.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For ease of presentation, the power usage effectiveness (PUE) is set to 1, i.e., γ = 1. Otherwise, one can simply scale y, α, and ΔE with PUE accordingly.
