數據中心與電廠共建的利弊探討

美國監管機構考慮在電廠設置數據中心的問題

隨著在美國電廠設置高耗能數據中心的趨勢日益增長,成本和可靠性方面的擔憂成為了聯邦能源監管委員會(FERC)於星期五舉行的技術會議的焦點。

隨著科技行業急於部署支持生成式人工智慧等技術所需的數據中心,快速獲取這些中心所需的大量電力成為了一個關鍵問題。將數據中心直接連接至電廠的安排,即所謂的共址(co-location),提供了一條快速獲取大量電力的途徑,這比起花費多年時間排隊連接更廣泛的電網來說,無疑是更為高效的選擇。

FERC主席威利·菲利普斯表示:「我相信聯邦政府,包括本機構,應該全力以赴去培育和促進這些中心的發展。」他補充說,他認為人工智慧中心對於國家安全和經濟發展至關重要。

然而,這種安排引發了人們的擔憂,認為共址的數據中心可能會通過使用由公眾支付的電網基礎設施和服務來提高普通用戶的電費。此外,共址數據中心還引發了可靠性問題,部分原因在於它們可能會分流電網的穩定電力,或者在鄰近電廠停機時,可能會從系統中抽取電力。

FERC專委馬克·克里斯蒂表示:「顧客是否仍然可以從電網獲取電力?如果可以,這將會有巨大的影響。」

此次技術會議可能會導致新的指導方針,明確誰應對與共址數據中心相關的某些成本負責,以及如何管理這些中心。

FERC目前也在收集有關電力公司在賓夕法尼亞州Talen Energy核電廠共址的亞馬遜數據中心之間的監管爭議的詳細信息。Talen的互連協議受到電力公司Exelon和美國電力公司的反對,而FERC的決定可能會為類似的交易樹立先例。

評論:這場會議揭示了科技進步與傳統能源系統之間的微妙平衡。隨著數據中心需求的激增,如何在保障電力供應的同時,確保普通用戶的電費不受影響,已成為亟待解決的挑戰。這不僅關乎經濟利益,更關乎能源的可持續發展和社會公平。未來的政策制定需要更加關注這些變化所帶來的長遠影響,並在促進技術創新的同時,謹慎考量其對社會的廣泛影響。

Create a photorealistic movie-poster image for Zootopia 2. The scene shows a young Asian man and an oversized black shirt standing inside a crowded, dimly lit cinema. He’s flanked by Judy Hopps in full police uniform and Nick Wilde, both rendered in their official Disney CGI style. Capture the shot from a low angle so the characters feel larger than life. The cinema screen behind them is glowing with an intense action scene from the film. Let the light from the screen spill across their faces and clothing to create dramatic high contrast. The environment should feel alive with background silhouettes, soft haze, and the warm ambience of a packed theatre. Style the composition like an official Disney promotional poster: epic layout, sharp detail, high resolution, balanced framing, and clean edges. The man and the cinema should be fully photorealistic, while Judy and Nick retain their signature animated look.
At the bottom, include:
• The Disney logo
• The title ZOOTOPIA 2 in bold green and white
• The release line ONLY IN THEATERS NOVEMBER 26 Poster tone: cinematic, polished, high-end theatrical marketing. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, ultra-sharp black and white studio portrait of a young woman with a powerful, direct gaze. She is seated gracefully on a seamless bright white floor, her legs crossed in a stylized, almost sculptural pose, with one knee raised and her hands clasped firmly over it. Her posture exudes a blend of strength and quiet contemplation. Her long, sleek, dark brown hair is meticulously parted down the middle, falling evenly over her shoulders, framing her face with elegant precision. Her makeup is refined and impactful, featuring intensely defined eyes with dark eyeliner, subtle shading, and prominent, well-groomed eyebrows. Her lips are natural, complementing her smooth, matte complexion. She is dressed in a simple, form-fitting black long-sleeved bodysuit, which accentuates the natural contours of her body without distraction. There are no accessories, maintaining a pure and minimalist aesthetic. *** The lighting is soft, even, and highly diffused, creating subtle, sculptural shadows that define her form and facial features without any harshness. The seamless pure white background provides an expansive, ethereal setting, isolating the subject and enhancing the monochromatic palette. The composition is a perfectly balanced medium full shot, centering the model and emphasizing the strong, symmetrical lines of her pose. The image is rendered with exquisite detail and clarity, from the individual strands of her hair to the subtle textures of her skin. The overall style is minimalist fine art portraiture, blending classic elegance with a contemporary edge, focusing on form, emotional depth, and timeless beauty.

Sunbeams shine through the arches behind him. The face is sharp, centered, and well lit.
