데이터센터 최적 열환경 제공을 위한 공조시스템 제어 동향 분석

Abstract

Purpose: This paper introduces trends of data center air conditioning systems and control methods. Investigation and analysis of examples presented the limitations of existing data center control strategies, thus, the advanced technologies are required to properly control the air conditioning systems in data center. Method: Reviewing the various literatures and data, the research was designed to identify problems of existing air conditioning system and control methods. Result: Currently, researches on air conditioning system control method using latest technology such as artificial intelligence are actively conducted and it is found that the cooling energy consumption could be saved up to 40%. Based on the preceding research outcomes, the potential of the intelligent strategies was proven and the necessity of the further study on the development of optimal algorithm is presented.
