Abstract

This article explores the case of the viability for a trigeneration system, consisting in the production of electricity to provide energy, in a Data Processing Center, both in economical terms and in environmental protection. Furthermore it is analyzed the present and future situation of IT center energy consumption and associated environmental effects, and also looks at how state-of-the-art technology, correctly implemented, could ensure significant rationalization of data processing center energy consumption. The article will examine optimization techniques, specific problems and case studies.
