Abstract

This chapter introduces the background knowledge on smart grid and Internet data centers. Specifically, the definitions, characteristics, components of smart grid, and the architecture of Internet data centers are elaborated. Since the operations of Internet data centers lead to large power consumption, high energy cost, and carbon emission, Internet data center operators need to manage the way of consuming and procuring energy efficiently. Then, we discuss the energy management of Internet data centers in smart grid and some challenges in energy management. Next, we review the existing works on energy management of Internet data centers and point out the drawbacks within them. Finally, we give the contents and organizations of this book.
