Green data center with IoT sensing and cloud-assisted smart temperature controlling system
With the growing shortage of energy around the world, energy-efficiency is one of the most performances for data center. In this paper, we propose a green data center air conditioning system assisted by cloud techniques, which consists of three sub-systems: data center air conditioning system, cloud management platform. Data center air conditioning system includes environment monitoring, air conditioning, communication, ventilation, and temperature control, while cloud platform provide data storage, big data analysis and prediction, and up-layer application. Moreover, the detailed design and implementation are presented, including dispatch algorithm of temperature control, topological structure of sensor network, framework of environment monitoring node. Based on the feasibility evaluation, it verifies that the proposed system can significantly reduce the data center energy consumption without a degradation in cooling performance.
