ECIS: Energy-Computing Integrated System
摘要
Abstract
With the growing demand for deep integration between computing power networks (CPNs) and energy systems (ESs)
effective collaboration between these systems has become increasingly crucial. To facilitate such integration
this paper proposes an energy-computing integrated system (ECIS)
which consists of a four-layer framework including a physical layer
a networked digital twin layer
a service layer
and a communication layer—each interdependent and playing a distinct role. The ECIS enables the global dynamic scheduling and optimisation of electric power and computing power resources. We provide a detailed overview of the functions and interactions within the four layers of the ECIS
discussing the potential of ECIS to enhance resource utilisation
support green and low-carbon development
and improve system flexibility. By fostering efficient collaboration between power and computing resources
the proposed four-layer framework of ECIS can significantly improve operational efficiency. Furthermore
we explore potential challenges in implementing ECIS and outline future research directions to address these challenges.
