N2 - Data centers are considered the information backbone of the modern digital society. Everyday life is now intertwined with digital tools and platforms such as mobile (smart) phones, high-powered personal computers, cyber-physical gadgets, etc. These tools rely on data centers. In the modern digital society, the concept of sustainable development includes energy-efficient, energy waste recovery, and climate aware process of digitization. Modern and digital power system operations would rely more on the data centers. This is a conceptual paper that discusses socio-techno-economic aspects to better utilize the data centers in a sustainable way. Broad guidelines are provided on the key features to be considered to build novel decision-support system tools for the optimal integration of data centers within power systems.
