system verdict

Data centers have a flat load.

ROUND 01 VERDICT

Myth

Data center load is highly variable and dynamic.

Load shape has changed over time as new types of data center load expands.

Load varies (and has always) due to things like:

  1. HVAC that results in increased load during hotter temperatures, e.g., during the summer.

  2. Workloads / usage by end-users that can vary by time of day, day of week, etc.
