In response to national initiatives promoting low-carbon technology innovation and fostering new quality productive forces, the "Integrated Energy Management Technology for Data Center Campuses Supporting Power-Computing Synergy"—jointly developed by Tsinghua's Energy Management and Dispatch Research Team, Energy Chain-Net Center, and 21Vianet Group—has been selected for the National Catalog of Low-Carbon Technologies Promoted for Priority Implementation (Fifth Edition) under the Digital Intelligence Empowerment category (Demonstration Project).
This technology applies integrated energy management systems to data center campuses, aiming to collaboratively optimize multiple energy vectors—including electricity, heating, cooling, and gas—alongside emerging flexible resources such as computing units within integrated campus energy systems. This dual-focused approach restructures energy supply configurations to achieve efficient, low-carbon energy consumption for data centers while simultaneously providing load-side flexibility to upstream power grids. By enhancing renewable energy integration capacity, the technology accelerates the development of new power systems.
Subsequent implementation is planned at 21Vianet Group’s data center base as a demonstration project. This initiative will integrate dispatchable resources, elevate power-computing operational coordination, and increase the proportion of renewable energy in data center operations.
