Abstract
With the increasing needs for advanced Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services, the power demand of ICT facilities has shown a continuous increase. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) based services become popular, design of power systems that support the operation of ICT facilities would become nontrivial. In addition, future power networks should be designed to contribute to sustainability. This paper provides a brief discussion on design aspects of sustainable power systems in ICT facilities with a particular focus on data centers. Discussions on power source sizing and system control are shown. In addition, novel characteristics of AI loads are explored. Performance metrices that characterize the energy efficiency, sustainability and service availability are also discussed. The discussions of this paper would contribute to development of technical approaches that addresses the needs for design, analysis, and operation of power systems for ICT facilities with high level of sustainability and reliability performance.
