This paper describes the DATAZERO project, which focuses on the design and operation of datacenters powered by renewable energy and without any emission of greenhouse gas. It describes the selected supply system architecture, in the form of a stand-alone microgrid, as well as the proposed modules for the operation of both power and information technology (IT) sides. The operation philosophy relies on a negotiation between both sides, i.e., between using (and aging) components and reducing the quality of service for IT tasks.
