Sustainable Data Center

Powerpoint presentation

1. Background (Problem)

Like a brainstorming = fun.

Refer Koomey’s paper “Growth in Data Center Electricity Use 2005 to 2010.”

Refer introduction of Zachary’s paper:
+ Building energy consumption
+ Data center energy consumption
+ Environmentally Opportunistic Computing (EOC)
+ Explain EOC,
+ Important keywords: Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_usage_effectiveness

Research following data:

1. Collecting data of energy usage of a typical data center: how much they are using.

2. Collecting data of how much heat from a WTE facility and how much the heat pump can transfer heat from the WTE facility.

2. Purpose

3. Methodology

4. Results

5. Discussion

6. Conclusion

Methodology for research.

X CITI training <- finished.
X Literature Review (selected 3 papers and reading them)
X Today we will learn how to write a paper/power point slides
Paper: academic papers -> Why? To impress others, gain recognition, and get promoted.
convey your idea
Title, Abstract, Keywords, Main contents (Introduction, Methodology[how to do experimental work, how to simulate or create a model], Results, Discussion, Conclusion)

Title: some important keywords have to be included.

Abstract: one paragraph. 4-5 sentences.
4 sentences:

state a problem
Energy consumption in US is getting increasing and a lot of computers/servers are operated.

say why it’s an interesting problem?
Minimizing the energy consumption of data centers will help our society.

say what your solution achieves

In order to reduce the data centers’ energy consumption, we analyzed a data center integrated with a Waste-to-energy (WTE)/coal-fire power plant using a new mathematical model.  Heat pump.

say what follows from your solution

From this energy analysis by using the simulation model, we found that combining a data center with a power plant will reduce energy consumption by 20%.
