Environment Details

SustainDC consists of three interconnected environments that simulate various aspects of data center operations: the Workload Environment, the Data Center Environment, and the Battery Environment. These environments work together to provide a comprehensive platform for benchmarking MARL algorithms aimed at optimizing energy consumption and reducing the carbon footprint of DCs.

Workload Environment

The Workload Environment manages the execution and scheduling of delayable workloads within the data center. It simulates the computational demand placed on the data center by using real-world workload traces from sources like Alibaba and Google.

LS Agent

Key Features

  • Observation Space:

    • Time of Day and Year: Provides a periodic understanding of time using sine and cosine representations.
    • Grid Carbon Intensity (CI): Includes current and forecasted carbon intensity values to help the agent optimize workload scheduling based on carbon emissions.
    • Rescheduled Workload Left: Tracks the amount of workload that has been rescheduled but not yet executed.
  • Action Space:

    • Store Delayable Tasks: Allows the agent to store delayable tasks for future execution.
    • Compute All Immediate Tasks: Enables the agent to process all current tasks immediately.
    • Maximize Throughput: Balances immediate and delayed tasks based on the current carbon intensity.

Data Center Environment

The Data Center Environment models the IT and HVAC systems of a data center, focusing on optimizing energy consumption and cooling. It simulates the electrical and thermal behavior of the DC components, including servers and cooling systems.

Data Center Modelled

DC Agent

Key Features

  • Observation Space:

    • Time of Day and Year: Provides a periodic understanding of time using sine and cosine representations.
    • Ambient Weather (Dry Bulb Temperature): Current outside temperature affecting the cooling load.
    • IT Room Temperature: Current temperature inside the data center, crucial for maintaining optimal server performance.
    • Previous Step Energy Consumption: Historical data on cooling and IT energy consumption for trend analysis.
    • Grid Carbon Intensity (CI): Forecasted carbon intensity values to optimize cooling strategies.
  • Action Space:

    • Decrease Setpoint: Lowers the cooling setpoint to increase cooling, consuming more energy for cooling but reducing IT energy consumption.
    • Maintain Setpoint: Keeps the current cooling setpoint constant.
    • Increase Setpoint: Raises the cooling setpoint to reduce cooling energy consumption but increases IT energy consumption.

Battery Environment

The Battery Environment simulates the charging and discharging cycles of batteries used in the DC. It models how batteries can be charged from the grid during periods of low carbon intensity and provide auxiliary energy during periods of high carbon intensity.

BAT Agent

Key Features

  • Observation Space:

    • Time of Day and Year: Provides a periodic understanding of time using sine and cosine representations.
    • State of Charge (SoC): Current energy level of the battery.
    • Grid Energy Consumption: Combined energy consumption of IT and cooling systems.
    • Grid Carbon Intensity (CI): Current and forecasted carbon intensity values to determine optimal charging and discharging times.
  • Action Space:

    • Charge Battery: Stores energy in the battery during periods of low carbon intensity.
    • Hold Energy: Maintains the current state of charge.
    • Discharge Battery: Provides auxiliary energy to the data center during periods of high carbon intensity.

Interconnected Environments

These three environments are interconnected to simulate realistic DC operations:

  • The Workload Environment generates the computational demand that the Data Center Environment must process. This includes managing the scheduling of delayable tasks to optimize energy consumption and reduce the carbon footprint.

  • The Data Center Environment handles the cooling and IT operations required to process the workloads. Higher computational demand results in increased heat generation, necessitating more cooling and energy consumption.

  • The Battery Environment supports the DC by providing auxiliary energy during periods of high carbon intensity, helping to reduce the overall carbon footprint. It is affected by both the Workload Environment and the Data Center Environment. The workload impacts heat generation, which in turn affects the cooling requirements and energy consumption, influencing the battery's charging and discharging cycles.

Schematic

Together, these interconnected environments provide a dynamic platform for benchmarking MARL algorithms, helping to develop strategies for more sustainable and efficient DC operations.

External Input Data

SustainDC uses external input data to provide a realistic simulation environment:

Workload

The Workload external data in SustainDC represents the computational demand placed on the DC. By default, SustainDC includes a collection of open-source workload traces from Alibaba and Google DCs. Users can customize this component by adding new workload traces to the data/Workload folder or specifying a path to existing traces in the sustaindc_env.py file under the workload_file configuration.

Comparison between two workload traces of Alibaba trace (2017) and Google (2011).

Weather

The Weather external data in SustainDC captures the ambient environmental conditions impacting the DC's cooling requirements. By default, SustainDC includes weather data files in the .epw format from various locations where DCs are commonly situated. These locations include Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. Users can customize this component by adding new weather files to the data/Weather folder or specifying a path to existing weather files in the sustaindc_env.py file under the weather_file configuration.

Each .epw file contains hourly data for various weather parameters, but for our purposes, we focus on the ambient temperature.

Comparison between external temperature of the different selected locations.

Carbon Intensity

The Carbon Intensity (CI) external data in SustainDC represents the carbon emissions associated with electricity consumption. By default, SustainDC includes CI data files for various locations: Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. These files are located in the data/CarbonIntensity folder and are extracted from https://api.eia.gov/bulk/EBA.zip. Users can customize this component by adding new CI files to the data/CarbonIntensity folder or specifying a path to existing files in the sustaindc_env.py file under the cintensity_file configuration.

Comparison of carbon intensity across the different selected locations.

Furthermore, in the figure below, we show the average daily carbon intensity against the average daily coefficient of variation (CV) for various locations. This figure highlights an important perspective on the variability and magnitude of carbon intensity values across different regions. Locations with a high CV indicate greater fluctuation in carbon intensity, offering more "room to play" for DRL agents to effectively reduce carbon emissions through dynamic actions. Additionally, locations with a high average carbon intensity value present greater opportunities for achieving significant carbon emission reductions. The selected locations are highlighted, while other U.S. locations are also plotted for comparison. Regions with both high CV and high average carbon intensity are identified as prime targets for DRL agents to maximize their impact on reducing carbon emissions.

Average daily carbon intensity versus average daily coefficient of variation (CV) for the grid energy provided from US. Selected locations are remarked. High CV indicates more fluctuation, providing more opportunities for DRL agents to reduce carbon emissions. High average carbon intensity values offer greater potential gains for DRL agents.

Below is a summary of the selected locations, typical weather values, and carbon emissions characteristics:

Location Typical Weather Carbon Emissions
Arizona Hot, dry summers; mild winters High avg CI, High variation
California Mild, Mediterranean climate Medium avg CI, Medium variation
Georgia Hot, humid summers; mild winters High avg CI, Medium variation
Illinois Cold winters; hot, humid summers High avg CI, Medium variation
New York Cold winters; hot, humid summers Medium avg CI, Medium variation
Texas Hot summers; mild winters Medium avg CI, High variation
Virginia Mild climate, seasonal variations Medium avg CI, Medium variation
Washington Mild, temperate climate; wet winters Low avg CI, Low variation

Custom Reward Structures

SustainDC allows users to define custom reward structures to promote collaborative optimization across different DC components. Users can modify the reward functions in the utils/reward_creator.py file to suit their specific optimization goals.

By leveraging these customization options, users can create highly specific and optimized simulations that reflect the unique requirements and challenges of their DC operations.

Benchmarking Algorithms

SustainDC supports a variety of reinforcement learning algorithms for benchmarking. This section provides an overview of the supported algorithms and highlights their differences.

Supported Algorithms

Algorithm Description Use Case
PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization) Balances simplicity and performance with a clipped objective function for stable training. Single-agent environments.
IPPO (Independent PPO) Each agent operates independently with its own policy and value function. Multi-agent systems with distinct roles.
MAPPO (Multi-Agent PPO) Uses a centralized value function for better coordination among agents. Cooperative multi-agent tasks.
HAPPO (Heterogeneous Agent PPO) Designed for heterogeneous agents with different observation and action spaces. Complex environments with diverse agents.
HATRPO (Heterogeneous Agent Trust Region Policy Optimization) Adapts TRPO for heterogeneous multi-agent settings with stability and robustness. Complex environments requiring robust policy updates.
HAA2C (Heterogeneous Agent Advantage Actor-Critic) Extends A2C to multi-agent settings with individual actor and critic networks. Scenarios with different types of observations and actions.
HAD3QN (Heterogeneous Agent Dueling Double Deep Q-Network) Combines dueling networks and double Q-learning for stability and performance. Environments needing fine-grained action distinctions.
HASAC (Heterogeneous Agent Soft Actor-Critic) Uses entropy regularization for exploration in multi-agent settings. Adapted to discrete action spaces and high exploration needs.

Differences and Use Cases

  • PPO vs. IPPO: PPO is for single-agent setups, while IPPO suits multi-agent environments with independent learning.
  • IPPO vs. MAPPO: IPPO treats agents independently; MAPPO coordinates agents with a centralized value function, ideal for cooperative tasks.
  • MAPPO vs. HAPPO: Both use centralized value functions, but HAPPO is for heterogeneous agents with different capabilities.
  • HAPPO vs. HATRPO: HAPPO uses PPO-based updates; HATRPO adapts TRPO for more stable and robust policy updates in heterogeneous settings.
  • HAPPO vs. HAA2C: HAPPO is PPO-based; HAA2C extends A2C to multi-agent systems, offering stability and performance trade-offs.
  • HAA2C vs. HAD3QN: HAA2C is an actor-critic method; HAD3QN uses value-based learning with dueling and double Q-learning
  • HAD3QN vs. HASAC: HAD3QN is value-based; HASAC uses entropy regularization for environments with continuous action spaces.

By supporting a diverse set of algorithms, SustainDC allows researchers to benchmark and compare the performance of various reinforcement learning approaches in the context of sustainable DC control.

Running Benchmarks

Benchmarking the performance of different reinforcement learning algorithms using SustainDC involves several steps. This section provides a detailed explanation of the benchmarking process.

  1. Configuring the Environment:

    Before running the benchmarks, ensure that the environment is properly configured. Customize the dc_config.json file to specify your DC environment settings, and update the environment configurations in harl.config.envs_cfgs.sustaindc.yaml.

  2. Setting Algorithm Parameters:

    Each algorithm has specific hyperparameters that need to be set before running the training script. Modify the parameters in the corresponding YAML configuration file located in the harl/configs/algos_cfgs directory. For example, to set the parameters for the HAPPO algorithm, edit the harl/configs/algos_cfgs/happo.yaml file.

  3. Run the Training Script:

    Once the environment and algorithm parameters are configured, you can run the training script. Use the following command, replacing <algorithm> with the desired algorithm and <experiment_name> with a name for the experiment:

    python train_sustaindc.py --algo <algorithm> --exp_name <experiment_name>

    For example, to run the training using the HAPPO algorithm and name the experiment happo, you would use:

    python train_sustaindc.py --algo happo --exp_name happo_experiment
  4. Monitor Training with TensorBoard:

    To visualize the progress of your experiments, you can use TensorBoard. Run the following command in another cell or terminal:

    %tensorboard --logdir results/sustaindc --port 6006

    This command will start a TensorBoard server on PORT 6006, and you can monitor the training metrics and visualizations in real-time. You can use other unused PORT. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:<PORT> to view real-time metrics and visualizations of the training process.

  5. Evaluate the Trained Results:

    After training is complete, evaluate the performance of the trained models using the evaluation script. Make sure to specify the correct RUN to the trained experiment in the eval_sustaindc.py file:

    python eval_sustaindc.py

Evaluation Metrics

  • Carbon Footprint (CFP): Cumulative carbon emissions over the evaluation period.
  • HVAC Energy: Energy consumed by the DC cooling system.
  • IT Energy: Energy consumed by the DC servers.
  • Water Usage: Efficient utilization of water for cooling.
  • Task Dropped: Number of dropped tasks due to workload scheduling.
