How much energy do IDCs use?

According to the United States Data Center Energy Usage Report (Ref. ), IDCs in the U.S. consumed an estimated 70 billion kWh in 2014, accounting for about 1.8% of total U.S. electricity consumption. Ref. shows that the energy demand from IDCs in 2019 was around 200 TWh, comprising around 1% of global electricity use.

How do IDCs and grid energy resources relate to cyber-physical entities?

Compared to existing work, the proposed approach treats IDCs and grid energy resources (BESSs, renewable energy sources, etc.) as integrated cyber-physical entities and investigates their coupling impacts. The proposed framework also models and considers different kinds of computation requests and their operational constraints.

What is the computing capacity of an IDC?

The computing capacity of an IDC is defined as the maximum number of requests it can handle in one time slot. For an IDC with m server racks, its computing capacity is mμ. Meanwhile, the maximum number of requests it can buffer is mQ.

Should power utilities invest their own IDCs?

With deep integration of cloud computing in industrial systems, there is an emerging trend that power utilities invest their own IDCs (i.e. private IDCs that only provide access to grid stakeholders and other authorized parties) to provide cyber infrastructure support for grid operation.

How do IDCs work?

In the framework, the IDC investor plans the location and capacity of IDCs and submits the IDC construction plan to the utility; the utility then checks the grid’s security under the suggested plan. Based on the feedback from the utility, the IDC investor revises the IDC plan until it satisfies the grid’s operation requirements.

How do IDCs communicate with each other?

The IDCs communicate with each other through a communication network. The communication network consists of a number of information nodes that are interconnected by communication links. The communication network thus can be modeled as a graph G (Ω IN, Ω link), where Ω IN is the set of information nodes and Ω link is the set of communication links.
