A Framework for Several Electricity Retailers Cooperatively Implement Demand Response to Distributed Data Center

A distributed data center cluster (DDCC) consists of centers that are geographically dispersed while managed by the same company. DDCC is composed several in different regions, so it purchases electricity from retailers regions. Commonly, there a lack cooperation between retailers. In this paper, framework where cooperatively implement incentive-based demand response (DR) to proposed. Firstly, which power for together publish their DR instructions DDCC. The analyzed paper. Then novel energy management model proposed participate collaborative DR. Finally, reasonable profit distribution mechanism adopted and allocate entire case study verifies can maximize whole benefit meanwhile ensures profits obtained each member (the retailers) not fewer than independent operation.
