Optimal Thermal Regulation Of A Real Data Centre

This paper presents a pilot method for optimal temperature regulation of real data centre rooms. The development is a part of a wider research activity conducted for EU FP7 project GENiC (Globally optimized Energy efficient data Centres). An overall description of the concept and GENiC platform is presented with emphasis on the thermal control system development including its architecture, design, online-algorithms and real system implementation on a real data centre facility. Latest experimental results of the developed control platform are presented, illustrating the capabilities and efficiency of the proposed technical approach towards optimal thermal control of data centres.
