Rationality analysis of WUE limits in data centers under the background of carbon neutrality
An in-depth research and analysis of water usage effectiveness(WUE)indicator for data center was carried out,introducing the limitations of traditional WUE calculation methods and proposing a modified WUE limit formula considering climates and water types.Based on climate and typical data center cooling systems,economic and carbon emission analyses were conducted,concluding a negative correlation between WUE value and carbon emissions of data centers.The a-vailable water-saving technologies for data centers are analysed,and a technical solution for rainwa-ter and wastewater reuse is proposed.
