The University of California, Davis received a $215,805 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems on October 1, 2021 to support collaborative research on demand response and workload management for data centers with increased renewable energy penetration. The award is part of the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), which aims to foster innovation in engineering research and education. Specifically, the university will conduct research with the goal of developing strategies for data centers to dynamically adjust workloads in response to variability in renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. This type of demand response and workload management could help data centers operate more efficiently and sustainably by integrating higher levels of renewable energy generation. The research is expected to be completed by August 31, 2022.
