Geographical Competitiveness for Powering Datacenters with Renewable Energy
Proceedings of: Third International Workshop on Sustainable Ultrascale Computing Systems (NESUS 2016). Sofia (Bulgaria), October, 6-7, 2016. ; In this paper we analyze the feasibility of using renewable energy for powering a data center located on the 60th parallel north. We analyze the workload energy consumption and the cost-energy trade-off related to available wind and solar energy sources. A wind and solar power model is built based on real weather data for three different geographical locations, and The available monthly and annual renewable energy is analyzed for different scenarios and compared with the energy consumption of a simulated data center. We show the impact different data center sizes have on the coverage percentage of renewables, and we discuss the competitiveness of constructing datacenters in different geographical location based on the results. ; The work presented in this paper has been partially supported by EU under the COST programme Action IC1305: Network for Sustainable Ultrascale Computing (NESUS) and under the Erasmus Mundus programme Euroweb+.
