Abstract:
A disclosed example includes: a temperature predictor to determine a combined ambient air temperature of a data center during a future duration based on 1) a first ambient air temperature corresponding to heat generated by hardware resources in physical server racks when executing workloads and 2) a second ambient air temperature corresponding to a building structure of the data center; a power utilization analyzer to determine a predicted total data center power utilization for the future duration based on a computing power utilization and a climate control power utilization, the climate control power utilization based on a power utilization corresponding to adjusting the combined ambient air temperature to satisfy an ambient air temperature threshold; and a power manager to configure a power supply station to deliver an amount of electrical power during the future duration to satisfy the predicted total data center power utilization.
