Technology Description:

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Sandia National Laboratories, and the Georgia Institute of Technology will develop testing protocols to evaluate the cooling technologies developed by COOLERCHIPS projects in real data center operating conditions. The scale will range from the component level to the rack level and all the way up to full edge data centers. This technical evaluation team will leverage the work done by the COOLERCHIPS Category C team to develop a digital twin to evaluate key parameters and help test a broad range of technologies developed by other COOLERCHIPS project teams to evaluate their thermal, reliability, and cost goals.
