Carbon Aware Computing

Use the NuGet-Package for your .NET project to get the optimal execution time for a task, in a given time slot, for a estimated duration. The lib will calculate the best execution time within the provided forecast data.

Install-Package CarbonAwareComputing
                      

var provider = new CarbonAwareDataProviderOpenData();
var forecast = provider.CalculateBestExecutionTime(
    ComputingLocations.Germany,
    DateTimeOffset.Now,
    DateTimeOffset.Now + TimeSpan.FromHours(8),
    TimeSpan.FromMinutes(20)
);
var executionTime = forecast.Match(
    noForecast =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine("No forecast. Use fallback");
        return DateTimeOffset.Now;
    },
    bestExecutionTime =>
    {
        return bestExecutionTime.ExecutionTime;
    });
                      

We provide a live and ready to use subset of the Carbon Aware SDK. The API is available at https://forecast.carbon-aware-computing.com/. Use the Swagger UI to play around with the API.

To use the API, you must register to the service by submitting a valid email address. This registration is also suitable for the intensity API. Please check the register endpoint in the Swagger UI. The API-Key is sent to this email.

We will use this address only to inform you about important changes to the service.

For more details check the GitHub Repository.

Use a PowerShell Cmdlet in automation scripts to forecast the beste execution time.

The module is available from PowerShell Gallery.

Install-Module -Name CarbonAwareComputing
                    

See the GitHub Repository for more details.

Get the grid carbon intensity as Prometheus metrics. See the GitHub Repository for more details.

To support the Carbon Aware KEDA Operator a compatible data exporter is provided. The data is used to adjust the scaling of k8s nodes based on the carbon intensity to implement Demand Shaping.

See the GitHub Repository for more details.

Use the NuGet-Package for your .NET project to get the actual grid carbon intensity for a given location.

Install-Package CarbonAwareComputing
                      

var intensity = provider.GetCarbonIntensity(
    ComputingLocations.Germany,
    DateTimeOffset.Now);
intensity.Match(
    emissionData =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Current grid carbon intensity: {emissionData.Value}");
    },
    _ =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Data not available);
    });

Hangfire is one of the most used tools for background processing in .NET. Use the Hangfire.Community.CarbonAwareExecution Extension to enqueue and schedule your jobs.

Install-Package Hangfire.Community.CarbonAwareExecution
                      

builder.Services.AddHangfireCarbonAwareExecution(configuration => configuration.
UseCarbonAwareDataProvider(
    new CarbonAwareDataProviderOpenData(), 
    ComputingLocations.Germany));                    
                      

We have fork the Carbon Aware SDK and provide the SDK as a NuGet-Package. The fork has also some additions for cached data provider. You may use this package for your extensions.

The unofficial Carbon Aware SDK is available from nuget.org.

Install-Package GSF.CarbonAware.Unofficial
