Research questionHow should a large data center choose sites when its own load changes electricity-market prices?A large data center can materially affect the electricity prices it pays, so site choices cannot be evaluated independently of market clearing. The resulting planning problem combines network-constrained pricing with discrete decisions about which sites to activate.

Its evidence compares continuous gradient-based allocations with exhaustive site-combination enumeration; the smooth relaxation can delay site closures near discrete cost thresholds.research paper · Sep 2, 2026
