Research Summary of a Small Embedded Data Center Pilot

Topics:

This research aimed to develop a non-intrusive, low-cost method for measuring power usage in data centers. Gather information needed to pilot a cost-effective, industry accepted utility program for Small Embedded Data Centers (SEDC).

This report includes three main tasks:

  1. The market characterization of SEDCs in Minnesota,

  2. The field study to assess energy use at selected sites and measure savings of installed measures, and

  3. The dissemination of the study’s results to stakeholders such as businesses, institutions, and utilities throughout Minnesota.
