Abstract

Internet of Things and Edge computing are evolving, bringing data processing closer to the source and a result closer to the network’s edge. This distributed processing can increase energy consumption and carbon footprint. One solution to overcome the environment’s impact is using renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic panels to power both cloud and edge servers. Since solar energy is not available at night or can vary with cloudiness, the centers still rely on conventional energy sources. Any solar energy that exceeds the demand power of the computing infrastructure is put back to the grid. Fluctuations in energy output due to moving clouds can have a negative impact on conventional energy suppliers as they have to maintain a constant energy supply. This paper presents heuristic algorithms for selecting edge servers for data stream processing to manage renewable energy utilization and smooth out energy fluctuations.
