Cloud Computing has become one of the important latest emerging technology in IT world. Cloud Computing technology will offers servers, storage, software and platform for developing the application to the users as a service on pay per usage basis dynamically as needed. Presently cloud computing facing security, resource management, power consumption and cost concern problems. In data centers the power consumed by the computing components is very high and cooling system used to cool the servers in data centers will also cost very high. The large amount of heat and CO2 gas is released due to high power consumption and this leads to increase in carbon emission rate that is polluting the natural environment. Therefore minimizing the energy/power consumption will not only reduce the huge cost, but also protects our natural environment and provides green computing. This paper mainly presents various existing power/energy consumption techniques in cloud computing.
