To improve the energy efficiency of renewable-based liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel, this paper investigates a combined cooling and power (CCP) solution in a data center park case towards further superconducting energy network development. Multiple energy conversion and CCP modeling are explored to develop a self-programmed graphical user interface, which offers scientists, engineers and students a smart tool to design and evaluate the integrated energy supply in various data center parks when considering local renewables and CCP technologies. In a MW-class data center case study, the local wind farm involved CCP units can offer about 36.94 MWh low-carbon electricity to the data center park. The equivalent reduction in CO2emissions reaches about 27.31 tons in one day.
