论文摘要
在全球能源生态系统转化的背景下，我们引入了一种新方法，以减少云计算部门的碳排放，同时促进小型私人光伏植物的部署。我们考虑将某些云服务转移到私人，分布式，太阳能计算设施的机会成本。为此，我们将租赁计算资源租赁到云池的潜在收入与通过将盈余能源出售给电网获得的收入相比。我们首先估计虚拟化云计算实例的消耗，并确定每个名义光伏电源的计算效率指标。根据该指标并表征该网站的年度太阳能生产，我们估计总回报和投资回收期。结果表明，该模型在经济上是可行的，并且在技术上是可行的。最终，我们描绘了仍然有许多问题的问题，例如安全性以及要解决的基本障碍，主要与一些大玩家统治的云模型有关。
In the context of the global energy ecosystem transformation, we introduce a new approach to reduce the carbon emissions of the cloud-computing sector and, at the same time, foster the deployment of small-scale private photovoltaic plants. We consider the opportunity cost of moving some cloud services to private, distributed, solar-powered computing facilities. To this end, we compare the potential revenue of leasing computing resources to a cloud pool with the revenue obtained by selling the surplus energy to the grid. We first estimate the consumption of virtualized cloud computing instances, establishing a metric of computational efficiency per nominal photovoltaic power installed. Based on this metric and characterizing the site's annual solar production, we estimate the total return and payback. The results show that the model is economically viable and technically feasible. We finally depict the still many questions open, such as security, and the fundamental barriers to address, mainly related with a cloud model ruled by a few big players.
