Summary

Nowadays, data processing is a fundamental operation for business such as banks, among others. However, computers dissipate heat and as the operating temperature increases and these machines cannot operate properly. Consequently, it is necessary to air conditioning systems to keep the proper temperature as well as the room temperature itself. Therefore, a data center air conditioning system drains electrical energy in the installation. Based on this, this paper evaluates a photovoltaic cooling to support the electric chiller system showing the energy saving. The case is analyzed in a Data Center located in São Paulo, Brazil. The electrical power density consumed by the computers is 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 kW/m2. Local solar irradiation indexes are based on the ASHRAE Data Bases temperature. The results represent a 22%, 12%, 13%, 5% and 3% of energy savings, respectively
