AI需要急増に伴い、再生可能エネルギーの余剰を活用するため、地理的に分散したモジュラーデータセンター（MDC）へのLLM推論ワークロード移行を電力市場モデルで分析。契約リシャッフリングにより、クリーンな契約帰属が必ずしも排出削減につながらないことを示し、PPA等の先渡契約が有効と提案。
English
This paper models power markets where hyperscalers shift LLM inference workloads to modular datacenters co-located with renewables. It reveals that contract reshuffling can undermine emission reductions from cleaner procurement, and that forward contracts like PPAs mitigate this effect, also reducing congestion.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The rapid adoption of AI has driven rapid growth in computational demand, with large language models (LLMs) at the forefront since ChatGPT's debut in 2022. Meanwhile, large amounts of renewable energy are ultimately curtailed due to transmission congestion and inadequate demand. This work develops a power market model that allows hyperscalers to spatially migrate LLM inference workloads to geo-distributed modular datacenters (MDCs) co-located with renewable generation at the edge of the network. We introduce the optimization problems faced by the hyperscaler and MDCs in addition to consumers, producers, and the electric grid operator, where the hyperscaler leases MDC capacity while ensuring that required service level objectives (SLOs) are met. The overall market model is formulated as a complementarity problem, for which we establish equilibrium existence and uniqueness of certain aggregate market quantities. We further show that bilateral contract allocations can vary while preserving the same physical market outcome, so cleaner contract-attributed procurement need not imply additional clean generation. Applying the model to the IEEE RTS-24 bus system, we find that even when MDCs disclose the CO$_2$ emissions associated with their energy supply, renting less polluting MDCs yields limited system emission reductions because of \textit{contract reshuffling}. This effect can be mitigated when conventional loads are supplied through forward contracts such as power purchase agreements. Interestingly, this also reduces system congestion as the hyperscaler becomes increasingly cost-aware.
