When AI computing power crashes into the dual carbon red line, the key question for data centers to transform from power consumers to energy systems. Green power direct connection has become a new path to breaking through the situation, and a breakthrough battle of computing, electricity, and carbon synergy is quietly starting amidst the roar of cabinets and fans.

Currently, China's new power system is being implemented on a large scale, and AI computing power and dual carbon strategy are reshaping the energy landscape of computing power. The policy requires that the proportion of green electricity in newly built data centers for computing power hubs should exceed 80%, and the application of green electricity should shift from compliance to balancing consumption and efficiency. The energy system of data centers faces three challenges: power supply stability is constrained by bidirectional fluctuations between source and load; The direct connection of heavy asset green power brings cost pressure; The energy efficiency of existing computer rooms does not meet the standards, and the task of carbon reduction is arduous. The grid connected green power direct connection with load based source, on-site consumption, and market trading has become a new path to break through the situation, but the practical difficulties throughout the entire cycle urgently need systematic solutions.

Building a full stack solution

Schneider Electric has launched a software driven green power direct connection full stack solution, relying on the EcoStruxure architecture to integrate platform, data, and AI capabilities, covering the entire lifecycle of planning, design, construction, and operation. Collaborate with partners such as Damao Technology to build an integrated energy management system for computing, electricity, and carbon, systematically breaking down barriers to implementation.

Traditional design relies on experience and is prone to rework. Schneider Electric relies on ETAP electrical digital twin technology to achieve dynamic simulation integration of computing power and electrical dual domains. It matches power configuration in reverse based on computing power load, outputs traceable data, and provides accurate basis for source load storage optimization, architecture design, and investment calculation.

Intelligent scheduling for long-term operation

After completion, three major values will be realized through an integrated operation platform: intelligent economic dispatch - microgrid integrated regulation, connecting the linkage of computing tasks, and maximizing green electricity revenue; Strengthening power supply safety - continuous simulation prediction and fault diagnosis, guarding the bottom line of uninterrupted operation; Assisting in carbon reduction compliance - data retention throughout the entire process supports carbon verification and ESG disclosure, solving the problem of proof.
