Data Centre Flexibility in Germany and China: Results from an Interview-based study
Video introduction on joint research of data center flexibility in China and Europe.
The research project was performed under the Sino-German Energy Transition Project, which is implemented by GIZ in China on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), in partnership with the China National Energy Administration (NEA), and German and Chinese implementation partners including the research's lead author, dena.
The research includes interviews with industry experts and companies on topics such as time-shifting of data and cooling loads, real-time geographic shifting of loads, the pros and cons of relocating data centers to colder climates for greater cooling efficiency and using on-site energy storage to participate in power markets. They also discuss whether the many obstacles data center operators currently see to becoming more flexible are likely to be overcome - and what policies would help.
