Growing demand for data center services has heightened emphasis on electricity consumption, energy efficiency and underutilized available power resources. Stranded power, which can be defined as unutilized electrical capacity within data center infrastructure or excess renewable electricity that cannot be efficiently utilized by the modern electrical power system, can offer opportunities to improve energy management and computing efficiency. In this work a literature review was conducted to assess the sources, nature and potential applications of stranded power associated with data centers. The review pays particular attention to inefficient power provision, stranded renewable electricity, flexible scheduling of workloads and demand response. The assessment concludes with the potential applications of data centers’ demand for stranded power, such as increased utilization of current IT infrastructure and computational processing, integration of renewable energy, and support to the electrical power grid. The economic, environmental and technical constraints of these proposed solutions are discussed, leading to the conclusion that demand side solutions improve power utilization provided they are applied under certain infrastructure and workload conditions and depending on local, renewable electricity generation levels. The piece ends with the point that stranded power can be harnessed for data centers, as long as optimization efforts are backed by fit for purpose technical, economic and environmental planning. evaluation.
