Abstract

The traditional data centre (DC) infrastructure is being significantly extended by modern information technology (IT) trends on one side, and lasting calling for DC sustainability on the other. A holistic DC management will be necessary to coordinate different DC processes and to dock the DC environment into modern cities and district infrastructure. A development of such a complex management requires comprehensive testing possibilities. The testing is hardly possible on the real DC infrastructure due to the mission critical nature. Building energy modelling methods offer a suitable platform for the development of a safe and reliable testing environment. This paper deals with new application of Building Energy Simulation (BES) method and introduces a workflow for virtual closed-loop testing of enhanced multi-domain operation for data centres.
