Artificial Intelligence for Energy Optimization in Data Centers

The paper reviews 194 papers on using artificial intelligence to optimize data center energy use, coding 63 of them. It finds that most control studies validate only in simulation, none consider water withdrawal or embodied carbon, and savings estimates overlap across methods, preventing ranking. The authors propose CLEAR‑DC, a framework that links control and workload demand through elasticity, reports net benefits, and records energy, carbon, water, embodied share, and validation venue.

Bridging Artificial Intelligence and Power Systems Education Using a Hands-On Executable Framework

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly central to power and energy systems, supporting modeling, forecasting, optimization, and control. Yet most existing works emphasize specialized applications and offer little reusable material for newcomers or interdisciplinary learners, who increasingly rely on large language models rather than building their own.

PowerZooJax: A JAX-based Power System Benchmark for Reinforcement Learning

PowerZooJax is a JAX-based benchmark suite designed for reinforcement learning in power system operation. It offers five constrained Markov decision process tasks covering generation, transmission, distribution, distributed energy resources, and data center microgrids. By implementing power flow, economic dispatch, market clearing, and device dynamics as JAX computation graphs, the entire training and evaluation loop runs on the GPU, yielding significant speedups over CPU-based simulations and enabling standardized evaluation of policy returns, safety violations, and out-of-distribution stress conditions.
