Grid-Interactive Thermal Management of AI Data Centers via Contextual Distributionally Robust Optimization
Jiachen Shen, Jian Shi, Yijie Yang, Chenye Wu, Dan Wang, Ju Bin Song, et al.
Thermal management in AI data centers is increasingly challenged by bursty workloads and uncertain heat generation. To prevent thermal violations, existing cooling strategies either enforce conservative, rigid bounds that severely limit grid responsiveness, or rely on forecast-dr…
