Load Management with Predictions of Solar Energy Production for Cloud Data Centers
Power supply of big infrastructures is today a tremendous operational cost for providers and the expected growth of Internet traffic and services will lead to a further expansion of the computing and networking infrastructures and this, in its turn, raises also concerns in terms of sustainability. In this context, renewable energy generators can help to both reduce costs and alleviate the concerns of sustainability of big infrastructures. In this paper, we consider the case of Data Centers (DCs) composed of a few sites located in different geographical positions and powered with solar energy. Due to the intermittent nature of solar energy, different time zones and price of electricity in different locations, load management strategies are fundamental. We consider predictions of the solar energy production performed through Artificial Neural Networks and we assess the impact of predictions on load management decisions and, ultimately, on the DC performance.
