Abstract:

The skyrocketing demand for AI computing has fueled a surge in energy consumption within internet data centers (IDCs), surpassing expectations. However, the unpredictable nature of renewable energy poses significant challenges for stable grid operation, which demand response from IDCs alone cannot fully solve. Configurable energy storage enhances flexibility. This paper presents a two-stage robust model for IDCs and battery energy storage (BES) planning, minimizing operational costs amidst wind power uncertainty. A lifespan constraint ensures realistic planning. The traditional C&CG algorithm's speed-accuracy dilemma is tackled with an Inexact C&CG (i-C&CG) algorithm, avoiding exact column/constraint generation. Simulations on IEEE 30-node and 118-node systems highlight the benefits of this approach. The proposed energy storage configuration reduces annual costs by 39785 CNY for storage systems and 289080 CNY for IDCs. The i-C&CG algorithm shortens iteration time by 3632 seconds, achieving a 0.18 precision and 0.46 relative error. These results match the traditional C&CG's convergence and optimality gaps.
