GEYSER: A Data Centre Energy Simulation Prototype Enabling Future Hardware in the Loop Testing

This paper focuses on modelling energy components within a Data Centre (DC) in a Smart City environment. This allows exploring the DC dynamics in a way that includes conditions that might be difficult or too risky to recreate in the real world, e.g. the impact of a large power injection from renewable energy sources and its influence on the DC operation. The DC components' models execution in real-time will enable Hardware in the Loop (HiL) testing of real DC equipment under fully controlled conditions.
