AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance for Green Data Centers: A Federated Learning Approach to Reduce Carbon Footprint
摘要
Data centers are rapidly becoming one of the largest consumers of electricity worldwide, with their share expected to rise from 2% to 8% of global usage by 2030. This paper introduces a federated learning (FL)–based predictive maintenance framework for green data centers, integrating LSTM-based failure prediction, differential privacy, and dynamic energy optimization. The system, deployed across five geographically distributed data centers over twelve months, achieved a 20.3% reduction in energy use, a 15.2% decrease in CO2 emissions, and a 95.09% F1-score in failure detection. The FL approach ensures privacy, scalability, and compliance, outperforming centralized and static-threshold baselines. The results demonstrate the potential of collaborative, privacy- preserving AI for sustainable digital infrastructure.
