Green data center energy-saving task scheduling strategy based on robust optimization

Abstract

The invention discloses a green data center energy-saving task scheduling strategy based on robust optimization, which is mainly used to solve the problems of high energy consumption, high electricity cost and high pollution in the data center. The invention deploys solar panels for the data center, and the data center can generate electricity by mixing solar energy and traditional grid. In order to solve the characteristics of randomness, discontinuity, and instability of solar power generation, the present invention designs a novel and flexible uncertainty model, and defines an uncertainty set through the introduction of reference distribution to limit the fluctuation of solar power generation, and considers Due to the difference and time-varying electricity price of geographically distributed computing nodes, a reasonable task scheduling strategy is designed to allocate the requests submitted by users to the data center to computing nodes and time periods with high solar energy output and low electricity prices for processing, in order to minimize consumption To achieve the purpose of saving energy and protecting the environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar energy, and specifically relates to a robust optimization-based energy-saving task scheduling strategy for a green data center, which is mainly used to solve the problems of high energy consumption, high electricity bills, and high pollution in the data center. Considering the software and service aspects, the present invention distributes the requests submitted by users to the data center to geographically distributed computing nodes for processing. The combination of solar power generation and traditional grid power generation provides power to the data center; the second is to consider the regional differences and time-varying nature of electricity prices; the third is to design an energy-saving task scheduling strategy, that is, on the basis of the first two parts, the user requests that will reach the data center Allocate to computing nodes and time periods with high solar output and low electric...

Problems solved by technology

However, after the use of renewable energy, although the environmental problems have been effectively improved, some problems have followed: First, unlike the controllable and stable power generation mechanism of the traditional power grid, the power generation of renewable energy is highly volatile and unstable. Due to determinism and strong correlation with weather, it is difficult to quantify the amount of solar power generation; secondly, how to properly schedule the user requests of the data center on geographically distributed computing nodes to minimize the data center’s load without violating user service requests. Electricity costs are also a key issue
