Energy-efficiency of server hardware, web server software and databases has been widely studied. However, studies that combine these aspects are rare. In this paper the authors present an energy-efficiency evaluation of a web and database application. They concentrate on the following aspects: server BIOS and operating system energy optimization and “bursting” i.e. queuing requests and then executing them in bursts. The authors have used the bursting method with both a database application and a web plus database application. Their results indicate about 10% energy savings using this method. They analyse the model by statistical tools and present an equation to express the quality of service versus burst wait time relationship.

The energy-efficiency of server hardware, web server software, and databases has been widely studied. However, studies that combine these aspects are rare. In this chapter, the authors present an energy-efficiency evaluation of a web/database application in a Windows/IIS/MSSQL environment running on an industrial grade Intel server. Moreover, they provide a wide overview of related research and technologies. Researchers have noticed that despite energy-saving technologies, energy consumption of data centers is still growing. To resolve this dilemma, the authors explore the background and propose concrete solutions. They concentrate on the following aspects: server BIOS/operating system energy optimization (limited impact) and “bursting” (i.e., queuing requests and then executing them in bursts). The authors have used the bursting method with both database and web/database applications. Their results indicate about 10% energy savings using this method. The authors analyse the model using statistical tools and present an equation to express the quality of service vs. burst wait time relationship.

At present, there is a lack of regional comprehensive energy multi-dimensional evaluation system and calculation of different quality energy in the energy efficiency evaluation of regional integrated energy system. Based on this, this article carries out research on multi-dimensional energy efficiency evaluation index system and evaluation methods. First, this article form quantifiable evaluation indicators from the aspects of energy supply subsystem energy efficiency, energy conversion subsystem energy efficiency, grid energy efficiency, economic benefits and social benefits, and clarify the calculation methods of each evaluation indicator. Then this article calculate the indicator combination weight. Finally, a multi-dimensional energy efficiency assessment method for a regional integrated energy system is proposed, and an example is used to prove the effectiveness of the method.
