During the two last decades, sustainability of IT infrastructures like datacenters became a major concern for computer giants like Google or Amazon. Datacenters powered with renewable energy have been proposed. But because of the intermittency of these power alternatives, these platforms remains connected to the classical power grid. IT structure and electrical constraints were often questioned separately, leading to a non-efficient global system. In this paper, an energy self-sufficient green datacenter is modeled and designed, by proposing an electrically autonomous infrastructure including wind turbines, solar panels and its own short and long-term storage devices mainly based on batteries and hydrogen system.
