The aim of the project was to implement a machine learning model to optimise the power consumption of Ericsson’s Kista data center. The approach taken was to use a Reinforcement Learning agent trained in a simulation environment based on data specific to the data center. In this manner, the machine learning model could find interactions between parameters, both general and site specific in ways that a sophisticated algorithm designed by a human never could. In this work it was found that a neural network can effectively mimic a real data center and that the Reinforcement Learning policy "TD3" could, within the simulated environment, consistently and convincingly outperform the control policy currently in use at Ericsson’s Kista data center.
