由大公司拥有和运营的数据中心具有高功耗，预计未来会增加。然而，在地理上和时间上转移计算负载的能力可以为电网提供灵活性。我们引入了虚拟链路的概念，以捕捉空间-时间负载的灵活性提供的地理分布的数据中心在市场清算程序。我们表明，虚拟链接抽象适合现有的市场清算框架，可以帮助分析和建立市场设计属性。这一点通过例证性案例研究得到了证明。
Data centers owned and operated by large companies have a high power consumption that is expected to increase in the future. However, the ability to shift computing loads geographically and in time can provide flexibility to the power grid. We introduce the concept of virtual links to capture space-time load flexibility provided by geographically-distributed data centers in market clearing procedures. We show that the virtual link abstraction fits well into existing market clearing frameworks and can help analyze and establish market design properties. This is demonstrated using illustrative case studies.
