Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that include managing flows of energy within a system that includes a data center and using at least some of the energy flows to provide power to the data center. In some examples, this disclosure describes a system comprising a power generation system, a battery storage system having a state of charge attribute, and processing circuitry having access to an electrical power grid, the power generation system, and the battery storage system. In one example, the processing circuitry is configured to: determine an energy utilization forecast for a data center; monitor energy availability factors; and determine, based on the energy utilization forecast and the monitored energy availability factors, an energy flow configuration defining energy flows involving with the electrical power grid, the power generation system, the battery storage system, and the data center.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems for cooling one or more data halls of a data center that include one or more sections of a cooling spine. Each section of the cooling spine includes a riser module, a manifold module, and one or more arrays of cooling units. The riser module includes riser piping configured to fluidically couple to a liquid cooling system. The manifold module includes manifold piping fluidically coupled to the riser piping. Each array of cooling units is positioned toward a data hall of the one or more data halls of the data center and includes a heat exchanger assembly and a circulation assembly. The heat exchanger assembly is fluidically coupled to the manifold piping and configured to cool return air from a hot aisle adjacent a row of cabinets. The circulation assembly is configured to discharge supply air to a cold aisle adjacent the row of cabinets.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for air-conditioning a cold aisle which is partially bounded by heat-generating devices and is arranged in a hot room, the hot room being separated from a second room by a boundary wall, and a region of the boundary wall is formed by a heat exchanger, such that air that is conveyed through the heat exchanger by the fan is supplied to the cold aisle. An opening with a fan is provided in the boundary wall. The cold aisle is connected to the boundary wall so that the opening is surrounded by the cold aisle.
