A method of determining optimal air conditioner control is provided that
includes determining power consumptions of servers and computer room air
conditioners, calculating a number of calories processed by each air
conditioner and determining a total number of calories processed as a
total heat processed load. Moreover, the method includes determining
relevant factors between each of the servers and each of the air
conditioners, calculating a percentage of the total heat processed load
for each air conditioner, adjusting the corresponding percentage of the
total heat processed load for each air conditioner using an operating
efficiency curve, calculating a respective power to be consumed by each
air conditioner, calculating an efficiency value, determining whether the
efficiency value is a maximum efficiency value, and setting each air
conditioner at the respective power to be consumed when the efficiency
value is the maximum efficiency value.
