On the energy management in data center's microgrid

This paper focuses on the energy management of microgrid connected to a data center. In our simulation studies, we use microgrid including a diesel generator, a micro turbine and the supply from the main grid. The energy supply management in microgrid is studied with a few allocation procedures. The first procedure is based on Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) optimization. The second procedure is an expert system. Based on the simulations, the paper suggests features for energy management algorithms of data centers' microgrids.
