Data centers are infrastructures that provide arithmetic for the Information Technology industry which has developed rapidly in recent years. The refrigeration systems in data centers operate continuously throughout the year and consume a lot of energy, so it is crucial to reduce the energy consumption of the systems. The goal of refrigeration systems in data centers is to maintain the chip temperatures within the safe ranges to avoid irreversible damage. However, the lower the target chip temperature of the cooling system, the more energy it consumes. Therefore, the control strategy that keeps the chip temperatures exactly at the upper limits is the most energy-efficient strategy. However, the uncertainty makes the optimal control strategy difficult to be applied in practice. Therefore, this paper innovatively proposes a robust optimal control method to overcome the negative effect of uncertainty on the optimal control strategy. The results indicate that when the scaling factor of the loss function is equal to 40, the actual chip temperatures under the robust optimal control strategy are always within the safe ranges. In addition, the robust optimal control method can save at least 24 % energy compared with conservative control strategies with safety margin above 1.5 ◦C.
