7th ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks (HotNets), Calgary, Canada, October 2008
In North America, electricity prices exhibit both temporal and
geographic variation---the later exists due to regional demand
differences, transmission inefficiencies and generation
diversity. Using historical market data, we characterize the variation
and argue that existing distributed systems should be able to exploit
it for significant economic gains. We consider pricing in cloud
computing systems, and also use simulation to estimate the advantage
of dynamically shuffling computation between different energy markets.
