In the background of the energy Internet, the number of data centres is increasing, aiming at the shortcomings of power supply and reliability in power supply system of traditional data centre and the development trend of green data centres. This article proposes an AC & DC hybrid power supply system with high-proportion renewable energy. The system includes photovoltaic generation, wind power generation, photothermal power generation, thermal utilisation system, power storage system, and different types of loads. Therein, a multi-port power electronic transformer is used to realise AC & DC multi-level mixing system with high proportion of variety of distributed renewable energy. Thereafter, the power supply, power grid, and the load can efficiently complement each other by using the integrated energy storage system such as electricity storage and heat storage. In detail, the rationality and functionality of the AC & DC hybrid power system are analysed through the system simulation and power supply reliability calculation. Moreover, the results show that the proposed hybrid power supply can effectively improve the impact of high-proportion renewable energy access to the grid and provide a new design scheme for the green data centre.
