Data Centers as Active Multi-Energy Systems for Power Grid Decarbonization: A Technical and Economic Analysis

“…In MES, energy converted into any form can be used to provide the flexibility resources necessary to regulate and balance power systems, exploiting for example the intrinsic storage resources of thermal systems (as in the case of the thermal inertia of buildings). Data centers (DCs), which are impacting our society and economy due to the digital transformation, are becoming one of the main important and critical infrastructures of modern society [6][7][8][9], and can provide a significant contribution to flexibility. DCs are characterized by highly intensive energy consumption, due mostly to the necessity of avoid overheating of equipment through cooling systems.…”
