Data centers consume a large amount of energy, contributing to CO₂ emissions, global warming, and resulting in significant electricity cost. To address these concerns, an increasing number of companies have considered building green data centers. The most abundant energy resource is solar; it is now a key player in the global energy transformation. Tidal energy has also received particular attention recently. The predictable characteristic of the resource makes the kinetic energy of tidal current an extremely competitive power resource compared to other commonly used renewable energies. For this purpose, a hybrid Tidal/Photovoltaic system is used for powering an MW scale green data center on a remote island. Green data centers are mainly dependent on renewable energies, which have intermittent nature and require a storage system capable of ensuring sustainable energy feeding. The proposed system consists of an MW scale proton exchange membrane electrolyzer and fuel cell. This system is associated with the LiFePO₄ battery to cover the fast-electrical dynamics. In this paper, the system modeling is presented along with an initial proposal of control and energy management system to align the data center energy consumption with the renewable energy generated while respecting the different system constraints. The model is implemented in Matlab/Simulink platform where the simulation results exhibit the system performance under different operation conditions.

数据中心消耗大量能源，导致 CO ₂排放，全球变暖，并导致显着的电力成本。为了解决这些问题，越来越多的公司考虑建设绿色数据中心。最丰富的能源是太阳能；它现在是全球能源转型的关键参与者。潮汐能最近也受到了特别关注。与其他常用可再生能源相比，该资源的可预测特性使潮流动能成为极具竞争力的动力资源。为此，混合潮汐/光伏系统用于为偏远岛屿上的兆瓦级绿色数据中心供电。绿色数据中心主要依赖可再生能源，具有间歇性，需要一个能够确保可持续能源供给的存储系统。该系统由一个兆瓦级质子交换膜电解槽和燃料电池组成。该系统与 LiFePO₄电池覆盖快速电动动态。在本文中，系统建模与控制和能源管理系统的初步建议一起提出，以在尊重不同系统约束的同时使数据中心能源消耗与产生的可再生能源保持一致。该模型在 Matlab/Simulink 平台上实现，仿真结果展示了不同运行条件下的系统性能。
