Abstract:

The synergy between computing and power,as a key paradigm for the deep integration of digital and energy infrastructure, is increasingly serving as a driver for sustainable computing development and renewable energy integration. China’s computing-power synergy ecosystem has initially established a comprehensive industrial chain system encompassing “new energy power generation, energy storage regulation, grid transmission, intelligent computing centers, and application scenarios.” The coordinated development of green computing and the “source-grid-load-storage-computing” framework is becoming a prominent trend. However, it faces challenges including spatial misalignment between computing resource allocation and energy distribution, inadequate coordination mechanisms between computing and power scheduling, underdeveloped standardization and market mechanisms, and an insufficient supply of interdisciplinary talent. To address the aforementioned issues, the paper proposes a series of recommendations, including the enhancement of strategic planning and standardization frameworks, the fostering of collaborative innovation across the “source-grid-load-storage-computing” ecosystem, and the establishment of an integrated innovation ecosystem combining industry, academia, research, and application. These measures aim to promote the coordinated optimisation of computing capacity and power resources, and to foster the high-quality, integrated development of the digital economy and the energy system.

Key words: computing-power synergy, green computing power, new power system
