Administración energética óptima para centros de datos

Abstract

[ES] Con la virtualización del mundo los centros de datos están creciendo en número y tamaño, con lo que su consumo de energía a nivel global también lo ha hecho. Para disminuir el impacto ambiental de este crecimiento, se han llevado numerosos estudios a cabo. En este trabajo se estudia la posibilidad y los resultados de que los centros de datos participen en programas de demanda variable dentro del marco del mercado eléctrico.

[EN] With world s virtualization data centers are growing in size and number. These buildings consume a large amount of energy and they are becoming one of the energy consumption concern areas of the world. In this report different ways of improving a data center s energy efficiency are studied. Based on some of these studies, the possibility for data centers to participate in demand response programs is tested with real data from a university data center. In order to understand demand response programs and their advantages, an explanation of electricity markets is presented. With the emergence of renewable energies and smart cities, the electricity system will be transformed and decentralized. This together with aggregating several small data centers will ease the data center participation in demand response programs.
