Application and Prospect of Flexible Transmission and Distribution Technology in Internet Data Center
Abstract
[Introduction] As an important thrust of China's "new infrastructure", internet data centers have ushered in opportunities for vigorous development and become new areas of energy use, putting forward higher requirements for the power supply level and capacity of the local distribution network. The innovative application of flexible transmission and distribution technology and key equipment makes the power supply and distribution system more intelligent, more flexible and more reliable, and more able to cope with the challenges brought by the large proportion of DC loads and concentrated high-load energy loads such as Internet data centers, and realize the construction and operation of Internet data centers more low-carbon, more efficient, more reliable and more economical. [Method] Firstly, the basic load requirements of Internet data center were discussed, the overall classification and performance requirements of internet data centers were analyzed. The application of flexible technology in distribution network was studied, with a focus on analyzing and comparing three types of technical routes: "rectification distribution, DC distribution, and AC-DC hybrid power supply and distribution". [Result] The paper provides provides tailored solutions for issues related to system reliability, stability, power quality, power efficiency and acceptance of new energy. [Conclusion] By summarizing the existing research results, flexible transmission and distribution technology is regarded as the core technology of building internet data center. Targeted data center control scheme should be studied from different aspects such as device and algorithms. After summarizing the research results of different aspects, the paper also looks forward to the practice and popularization of head-to-head transmission and distribution technology in internet data center.
