Abstract

To reduce power surpluses of a fluctuating renewable energy.SOLUTION: Data center candidate management information indicates characteristics of a renewable energy supplied to each of data center candidates. Application program kind candidate management information indicates characteristics of each of application program kind candidates. A system refers to the data center candidate management information and the application program kind candidate management information, determines a plurality of combinations including one or more data center candidates and one or more application program kind candidates, determines a score of each of the combinations based on the characteristics of the renewable energy supplied to each of the one or more data center candidates and the characteristics of each of the one or more application program kind candidates, and selects a combination to be presented based on the score.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 20B
