Unified Power Micro-grid Optimisation Strategies for Data Centres (UPMOST)

Durham University

Department of Engineering

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is powerful. But it depends on data centres who shouldn’t be too much power-hungry. Did you know a single large-scale data centre consumes as much energy as 50,000 households? If you think that’s a problem worth solving, we want you for our PhD program. Read more

Supervisor: Prof H Sun
