Abstract

With the rapid expansion of cloud computing, data centers have become one of the largest consumers of energy globally. To achieve energy efficiency and sustainability, integrating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind into the energy management system (EMS) of data centers has become essential. This paper proposes an intelligent EMS framework designed for sustainable data centers, which dynamically balances energy loads between renewable energy generation, battery storage, and grid supply. The system optimizes energy consumption by leveraging real-time data from renewable sources, minimizing grid dependency, and reducing overall operational costs. A simulation over a 24-hour period demonstrates that the EMS can significantly reduce grid power usage while maintaining data center load demands, thereby supporting greener and more efficient data center operations.
