Lecture and discussion with Prof Dr Oliver Müller

The DC2HEAT project is an AI lighthouse project funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, which is driving forward the use of waste heat from data centres using the Frankfurt metropolitan region as an example. The aim is to make the growing data centre infrastructure more sustainable and to contribute to the decarbonisation of the urban heat supply. The presentation will provide insights into the technical, ecological and economic potential of waste heat utilisation and show how artificial intelligence can help to optimise the planning and operation of corresponding systems. Specific use cases will be used to demonstrate how data-driven methods can contribute to the better integration of data centre waste heat into urban energy systems - from load forecasting and operational optimisation to the development of new usage scenarios.
