High-Performance Computing Data Center Power Usage Effectiveness Timeseries

Timeseries data from the Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) Data Center, capturing detailed power metrics for high-performance computing operations. The dataset includes fields for IT equipment power, cooling systems, and outside weather conditions, enabling analysis of energy efficiency. It is provided by the Department of Energy in Parquet and compressed CSV formats.

Use Cases

• Model the relationship between outside_air_temp and cooling_kw to optimize data center cooling system efficiency.
• Analyze pue trends over time to benchmark and improve overall data center energy performance.
• Correlate it_power_kw with hvac_kw and pump_kw to understand total facility power consumption dynamics.
• Forecast energy_reuse effectiveness based on operational power metrics and outside weather station data.

Strengths

• Provides granular power component breakdowns including cooling_kw, it_power_kw, and hvac_kw.
• Includes correlated outside weather station data with outside_air_temp and outside_air_humidity.
• Data is sourced from a Department of Energy high-performance computing facility, ensuring authoritative measurements.

Limitations

• Specific sample size, row count, and temporal coverage are not provided in the input.
• The dataset does not reflect a constant 2.67 kilowatt load from the tower filter pump, as noted in the description.
