3 3 / 18 Motivation 1 DCs consumed 1.5% of the worldwide electricity supply in 2011 and this fraction is expected to grow to 8% by DC operators paid more than $10M (Qureshi 2009) 3 DC operators can save 5% 45% cost by leveraging time and location diversities of prices The electricity price applying on DC does not change with demand Demand Response of Data Centers: receiving consideration Pricing for DR: a right price not only at the right time but also on the right amount of demand
