ABSTRACT
As cloud computing attracts a lot of attention all over the world, the huge carbon footprints of its basic infrastructure cannot be ignored. Large-scale datacenters usually consumes significant amount of energy which leads to both economical wastes and social problems. Renewable energy has been explored in recent years as the power supply for large-scale datacenter. However, its intermittency and unpredictability brings more difficulty for efficiently utilizing the green energy instead of brown energy. In this study, we reviewed some related work which conducted study on how to utilize renewable energy. Then, the research framework for resource management and power management issues in such datacenters is proposed. A series of models and strategies are described in detail which might be suitable for different kinds of applications. Finally, on the basis of the review and analysis, some possible future research directions are discussed.
