Abstract

This dissertation develops models and control strategies for improving energy efficiency in data centers. It proposes a cyber-physical systems approach that integrates thermal and computational models of data center infrastructure under a unified model predictive control (MPC) framework. The framework enables coordinated management of servers and cooling systems to minimise total energy consumption while satisfying service-level agreement constraints.
