Abstract

Cooling demand constitutes a significant and flexible component of AI data center electricity consumption, but time-synchronized measurements are scarce and constant coefficient-of-performance models cannot represent thermal dynamics. This letter proposes a closed-loop simulation model which couples a linear thermal dynamic model with deadband-based control to capture the nonlinear cooling dynamics. The model is validated using operational telemetry from the Marconi100 supercomputer. Compared with the baseline, the proposed model reduces the mean absolute error from 95.80 to 20.88~kW and the root-mean-square error from 109.79 to 27.27~kW. Evaluation over approximately 520 daily profiles further shows improved reproduction of daily peak demand and intraday variability. The proposed model provides a computationally tractable means of generating physically interpretable cooling load profiles for power system studies.

Constrained Parameter Update Law for Adaptive Control

In this paper, constrained parameter update laws for adaptive control are developed using barrier constraints. An interpretation of the parameter update law from a constrained optimization problem, in which a regularized Barrier saddle function is formulated to incorporate parameter constraints using inverse and logarithmic barrier functions from interior-point methods. The resulting constrained update law is integrated with an adaptive trajectory tracking controller, enabling online learning of the unknown system model parameters. Forward invariance of the parameter estimate is established and Lyapunov stability of the closed-loop system with the constrained parameter update law is derived. The effectiveness of the proposed constrained adaptive control law is demonstrated through simulations, which validate its ability to maintain parameter estimates within prescribed bounds while ensuring convergence to the true parameter values and achieving steady state tracking performance.

Observability Analysis for Fusion of Doppler Measurements in Multistatic Radar Near the Tx-Rx Baseline

This paper studies multistatic measurement fusion when a target lies within the Tx--Rx (Transmitter-Receiver) baseline ambiguity zone, with particular emphasis on configurations involving two closely spaced stationary Tx--Rx pairs. Such configurations provide overlapping detectable regions and extend the effective detection range compared with sparsely spaced multistatic systems. However, in this region, the accuracy of range and bearing measurements degrades rapidly, and Doppler measurements often remain the only reliable information source. As a result, target trajectory estimation becomes highly challenging, with observability being marginal or even completely lost. To address this problem, the observability of target trajectories is analyzed under various conditions, enabling system designers to assess system performance in advance. A Doppler-only measurement fusion approach is then developed, employing a multiple-initial-point Maximum Likelihood (ML) nonlinear estimator for initial state estimation, followed by dynamic state updates using an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). Simulation results are presented and shown to be consistent with the observability analysis.
