Assessment of Emerging Cooling Technologies by Analyzing Their Impact on Reducing the Power Usage Effectiveness Ratio of Data Centers

Abstract

With the advent of high speed internet, smart-phones, Wi-Fi, Cloud computing, and IOT, our desire for creating and consuming data has been growing exponentially. It has resulted in great demand for storing and processing of this data with increase in number and scale of data center facilities around the globe. Data centers have started consuming much higher amount of power and highperformance IT equipment have presented a bigger challenge for cooling systems. Large technology companies have realized the need for making their data centers more energy efficient and, in turn, modern mechanical systems have been designed to work more efficiently. This research study endeavors to analyze these mechanical systems and present the way they affect Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratios of data centers. Data from numerous data center projects carried out by a leading general contractor in last 5-years was obtained and correlation analysis was carried out to assess how modern mechanical systems help in reducing their PUE ratios.

Green Cloud Computing: Energy Efficiency and Management

“…REVIEW AND ANALYSIS Data centre uses modern cooling techniques are developing and attracting the attention of administrators, particularly in the big DC operation [29].There are alot of methods that are used in quality improvement, decrease vitality utilization and carbon impression. Sever always area units effectively operating and a few of them have the most extremely dangerous outcomes.…”

Assessing anthropogenic heat flux of public cloud data centers: current and future trends

“…The data center industry uses the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric to measure a DC efficiency ( Gadgil & Rahn, 2019 ). The PUE of a DC is the ratio of the data centre total energy consumption P Total to information technology equipment energy consumption P IT , calculated, measured or assessed across the same period ( ISO/IEC 30134-2:2016, 2018 ).…”

“…PUE is calculated using Eq. (1) ( Gadgil & Rahn, 2019 ). The distribution of power consumption in a typical DC was described by Rasmussen (2006) , and a schematic representation is depicted in Fig.…”
