Abstract: As an important part of energy internet, the micro-grid can facilitate integration of distributed renewable energy sources and data centers, in order to reduce brown energy consumption and carbon footprint. However, due to potential security and privacy issues caused by opacity and uncertainty of the energy market, it led to a lower renewable energy utilization and transaction rates. This paper introduces an opportunistic task scheduling strategy to improve utilization of on-site renewable energy by dynamically adjust the workload of data centers. In addition, the authors proposed a dynamic smart contract formulation based on blockchain, which effectively reduces the expenses of users and improves the benefits of the operator. Finally, the simulations with a real-world task workload and solar power traces demonstrate that the above methods can significantly improve the utilization of renewable energy and optimize the revenue for both users and operators.
