On September 4, it was reported that a plan has been put forward by seven departments, including the Cyberspace Administration, to propel the green and low-carbon evolution of computing infrastructure. This plan underscores the importance of reinforcing green design principles within computing infrastructure. It encourages the innovation and implementation of technologies such as liquid cooling, waste heat recovery, and low-power chips. Furthermore, it advocates for the exploration of 800V high-voltage DC power supply architectures, which are crucial for enabling the deployment of single racks with power capacities exceeding 100 kW.

Simultaneously, the plan champions the optimization of green operational models. This is to be achieved by harnessing cutting-edge technologies like digital twin simulation and multi-modal sensing, in conjunction with artificial intelligence algorithms. The aim is to establish an intelligent management system that encompasses the entire lifecycle of computing infrastructure. Such a system would facilitate real-time monitoring, prediction, and dynamic adjustment of energy efficiency, as well as intelligent operation and maintenance of data centers.

Additionally, the plan promotes the synergistic development of computing power and electricity. It guides the aggregation of computing resources in regions abundant with clean energy. The focus is also on advancing technologies and standards for the coordinated scheduling of computing power and electricity, direct green power connections, and innovative energy storage solutions. These efforts are geared towards increasing the proportion of green power utilized in computing infrastructure.

Finally, the plan urges the acceleration of upgrades to outdated computing infrastructure. It promotes the adoption of energy-saving and carbon-reducing technologies and equipment. Moreover, it calls for the implementation of energy conservation supervision and diagnostic services. These measures are designed to facilitate energy-efficient renovations and upgrades of computing facilities, thereby contributing to a more sustainable future.
