Impact of Security Modeling Fidelity on Hyperscale Data Center Hosting Capacity Assessment
Haoxiang Wan, Linhan Fang, Jonghwan Kwon +5
This paper assesses hyperscale data center hosting capacity in transmission grids. Hosting capacity (HC) analysis quantifies the maximum additional load a bus can accommodate witho…
Impact of Data Center Load on Co-Optimized Generation and Transmission Expansion Planning with Embedded Unit Commitment
Haoxiang Wan, Xingpeng Li, Jonghwan Kwon
The rapid growth of hyperscale data centers challenges grid expansion planning, yet existing studies focus largely on operational flexibility rather than long-term investment decis…
Service-Aware Hosting Capacity Assessment of Edge Data Centers with Workload Flexibility
Linhan Fang, Haoxiang Wan, Anurag Srivastava +1
The growing demand for edge computing, content delivery, and AI services is driving the interconnection of edge data centers (DCs) with distribution networks. Before interconnectio…
Data Center Spatio-Temporal Load Flexibility in Security-Constrained Unit Commitment for Enhanced Grid Efficiency and Reliability
Haoxiang Wan, Xingpeng Li
Data center electricity consumption reached 4.4% of U.S. total in 2023 and is projected to grow to 6.7--12% by 2028, imposing increasing stress on transmission networks while repre…
Grid Operational Benefit Analysis of Data Center Spatial Flexibility: Congestion Relief, Renewable Energy Curtailment Reduction, and Cost Saving
Haoxiang Wan, Linhan Fang, Xingpeng Li
