Abstract

Aspects of this disclosure are directed to a simulation-based cooling optimization method that provides real-time cooling set points in a data center. The method combines airflow and temperature simulation, energy modeling, and an optimization solver to determine optimal cooling set point values for a data center. Other aspects are also directed to estimating power consumption and cost and energy savings.
