Components
From an electric and control stand point, this project will be divided into seven major tasks(sub modules).
A system emulator will be used to simulate the behavior of real renewable energy sources. A short description of additional components is given below:
Test Bench Organization
Two electric panels will be used, one with 48VDC and the other with 208 VAC. Two experiments will be realized as shown in the below figures.
AC Server Architecture
DC Server Architecture
The below figure below explains a possible way datacenter can be managed. First, the total data to be process during a time slot is estimated. Second, the Workload Energy Manager (WEM) evaluates the necessary amount of electric energy needed to meet the demand and prepares different scenarios that are sent to a UC solver which prepares a schedule for each scenario. The WEM receives back all solutions and stores them in a database. When one of these scenarios occurs, the WEM orders the switch to move data from one server to another accordingly.

Testbed Architecture
In our testbed, the actual migration traffic is isolated from the network we use to control the tests and to monitor the state of the VM being migrated. A third machine simulates switch connecting two Hosts on a private network. We can use either an actual physical switch or a third machine running the CORE network emulation software to represent a variety of network conditions.
