N2 - Datacenters often are a power utility's largest consumers, and are expected to participate in several power management scenarios with diverse characteristics in which Energy Storage Devices (ESDs) are expected to play important roles. Different ESD technologies exist, including little explored technologies such as flow batteries, that offer different performance characteristics in cost, size, and environmental impact. While prior works in datacenter ESD literature have considered one of usage aspect, technology, performance metric (typically cost), the whole three-dimensional space is little explored. Towards understanding this design space, this paper presents first such study towards joint characterization of ESD usages based on their provisioning and operating demands, under ideal and realistic ESD technologies, and quantify their impact on datacenter performance. We expect our work can help datacenter operators to characterize this three-dimensional space in a systematic manner, and make design decisions targeted towards cost-effective and environmental impact aware datacenter energy management.
