Renewable energy configuration scheme of data center in cold area. A case study

Abstract

ABSTRACT The core of building energy allocation is to reduce the power load and power consumption through the reasonable allocation of energy equipment, so as to reduce the capacity of the supply side and save investment. In this way, the configuration of energy schemes in data center is conducted in this paper. According to the results of load forecasting, the energy supply scheme of each building in the planning area is determined, including ground source heat pump (GSHP) system, solar water heating system and heat pipe air conditioning system. In addition, feasibility analysis and economic analysis of each configuration scheme are carried out, and the relatively reasonable scheme is selected. It is found that GSHP system can be used in canteen building, solar hot water system can be used as auxiliary for apartment buildings and joint operation of heat pipe air conditioning unit and traditional machine room air conditioning unit is the most economical for data room. Through the research of this paper, a feasible method for the reasonable allocation of energy is provided in the data center planning stage.
