ABSTRACT
Urbanization has been an increasing trend that has lead to higher population densities in cities worldwide. Providing these large amounts of citizens with a high quality of living is one of the main goals of future smart cities. A high quality of living requires the smart city to offer several services, many of them supported by a sophisticated, power-intensive IT infrastructure. We present a cooperation scheme between smart city and data centres that allows for an effective use of power flexibilities inherently available in data centres. By adapting the power demand of data centres to the availability of renewable energy, smart city goals like a low carbon emission of its IT infrastructure become achievable. To this end, a demand side management scheme under orchestration of a central control system is proposed. The concrete guidelines on power use for data centres are calculated by a component named "Ideal Power Planner", based on smart city goals and renewable power availability forecasts. The effectiveness of the developed approach has been validated in three testbeds.
