Description
Summary:[Objective] As the energy consumption of data centers continues to grow and renewable electricity rapidly penetrates the market, the synergy between computing power, electricity, and heat can break the siloed development of these sectors, thereby promoting the high-quality and sustainable development of data centers and novel energy systems. However, the construction of a coordinated system and the formulation of standards for computing power, electricity, and heat lack regulation and guidance, which hinders the enhancement of energy utilization efficiency and coordinated optimization levels in data centers. [Methods] This study analyzes the current research and development status of computing power-electricity-heat collaborative systems in data centers. It summarizes the deficiencies of existing terminologies and provides key terminology examples related to the synergy of computing power, electricity, and heat from aspects such as general terms, integrated optimization, and evaluation terminology. [Results] The results indicate that the coordination among computing power, electricity, and heat in data centers is still in its preliminary exploratory stage, and normative work on cross-industry collaborative terminologies should be strengthened. [Conclusions] This study establishes a standard system for the coordination of computing power, electricity, and heat, which primarily includes basic, business, and service standards, with the aim of effectively guiding the deep collaboration between data centers, power grids, and district heating networks, promoting the diversified and intensive utilization of energy, and offering references and suggestions for advancing the standardization efforts in this field.
