Adapting Datacenter Capacity for Greener Datacenters and Grid
Liuzixuan Lin, Andrew A. Chien
Abstract
Cloud providers are adapting datacenter (DC) capacity to reduce carbon emissions. With hyperscale datacenters exceeding 100 MW individually, and in some grids exceeding 15% of power load, DC adaptation is large enough to harm power grid dynamics, increasing carbon emissions, power prices, or reduce grid reliability.
