Coordinating GPU Data Centers and Power Grid Regulation Service for Exogenous Carbon Benefits

Ali Jahanshahi, Daniel Wong, Nanpeng Yu, Osten Anderson, Sara Rashidi Golrouye

GPU data centers can provide frequency regulation to power grids and produce exogenous carbon savings that exceed their own operational emissions.

✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We demonstrate that data center participation in frequency regulation can result in Exogenous carbon savings that can outweigh operational carbon emissions.

C2weakest assumption

That GPU data centers can flexibly modulate power draw for regulation services without unacceptable impacts on computing performance or that grid carbon-intensity models accurately capture the displaced fossil generation.

C3one line summary

GPU data centers participating in power grid frequency regulation via the EcoCenter framework can achieve exogenous carbon savings exceeding their operational emissions.
