The energy demand of the data center (DC) industry has accounted for 2% of the total global
energy consumption, and its operating power consumption has reached 50 times that of the …

Internet data centers (IDCs), which have the potential of spatial and temporal load
regulation, are excellent demand response (DR) resources. IDCs participating in DR has …

Detailed thermal dynamics of high-power IGBT modules are important information for the
reliability analysis and thermal design of power electronic systems. However, the existing …

Airflow is crucial for air-cooled data centers. Its flow path and distribution influences the
thermal environment and energy efficiency of raised-floor data centers. This paper provides …

Recently, the rapid growth in both data center power density and scale poses great
challenges to the cooling system. On one hand, the data center operators try to over …

World over, power consumption by “server farms” or data centers is a growing concern. With
time dependent job arrival rates at the servers, the power dissipation, and concomitantly the …

Accurate prediction of data center temperatures and airflow following a transient event, such
as the loss of cooling or variation in server load, requires that all sources of thermal mass in …

CFD is widely used to determine the steady-state cooling performance of existing or planned
data centers. However, in the absence of a compact transient server model, comprehensive …

The stable temperature of the computer rooms in data centers (DCs) is crucial for the
servers' safety operation. The increase in server temperature can lead to poor operational …

The server outlet temperature is an important thermal condition to the operation of an air free-
cooled data center that uses fans to continuously pass the outside air through the server …
