Role of Solar Energy for Cloud Data Centers

Abstract

Cloud Data Centers are now-a-days well known wide deployment of large -scale power consumption and high carbon emission houses. To reduce carbon emission and energy cost, solar energy has been considered to be the best possible solution as renewable energy alternative. Unlike the stable supply of grid energy, it is a challenging to utilize solar energy though it has some limitations like uncertainty, intermittent and variable natures, but still it produces a best solution in scheduling and load balancing options. This article attempts to focus why, when and how to leverage Solar Energy in Global Data Centers.
