“算电协同”现状及未来趋势展望

Core Insights - China's computing power and electricity have been rapidly developing, with total computing power expected to exceed 280 EFlops by the end of 2024, averaging a growth rate of nearly 30% over the past five years [1] - Annual electricity consumption of data centers has surpassed 150 billion kilowatt-hours, highlighting the increasing demand for energy [1] - The structural contradiction between the over 50% share of renewable energy installations in the western region and the electricity shortages in the eastern region is becoming more pronounced [1] - The dual pressure of surging computing demand and energy transition necessitates a deep integration of computing power and electricity [1] - The essence of "computing-electricity synergy" is to break down the barriers between bits (computing power) and watts (electricity), allowing computing power to act as a "regulator" in the electricity system [1] - This synergy aims to promote renewable energy consumption, reduce electricity costs, and optimize resource allocation through the two-way matching of computing load and electricity supply [1]
