Abstract: A power controller allocates input power to a datacenter between computing power for computing services, backup power, and overhead power for overhead systems. The power controller reallocates the overhead power and/or the backup power to the computing power. This may increase the overall utilization of the datacenter by allowing additional processing power of the servers to be used.

Abstract: Power draw stabilization is provided. A target power consumption of a source load is determined. The source load is generated by electronics supplied power by a primary power source through a power rail. The power rail is coupled to a capacitor bank by a bi-directional converter configured to smooth fluctuations in power drawn from the primary power source by performing mode switch operations. The mode switch operations include, in response to the source load exceeding a target power consumption, controllably switching to a second directional mode that directs current released from the capacitor bank to the power rail. The mode switch operations further include, in response to the source load dropping below the target power consumption, controllably switching the operational mode of the bi-directional converter to a first directional mode to direct current from the power rail into the capacitor bank.

Abstract: A system may include a first energy storage system (ESS) configured to provide electrical power to a datacenter. A system may include a second ESS configured to provide electrical power to the datacenter, wherein the second ESS is a higher-level ESS relative to the first ESS. A system may include a hierarchical ESS controller in data communication with the first ESS, the second ESS, and the datacenter and configured to: obtain grid information from a regional power grid, obtain first ESS state information, obtain second ESS state information, obtain datacenter power demands, determine a discharge schedule of the first ESS and the second ESS for the datacenter based at least partially on the grid information and the datacenter power demands, and discharge at least one of the first ESS and the second ESS based on the discharge schedule.

Abstract: Techniques for providing auxiliary power to a datacenter, which is normally serviced by a power utility, are disclosed. The system includes a controller, a first stamp, and a second stamp. A common DC bus couples the first stamp to the second stamp on a DC side. A common AC bus couples the first stamp to the second stamp on an AC side (e.g., the output of the stamps). An AC breaker is disposed on the AC bus between the first stamp and the second stamp. The controller controls whether the AC breaker is open or closed. A default state of the AC breaker is an open state. The control of the breakers can occur for various reasons, including whether the utility is available or whether the utility is not available. The utility might not be available due to a utility failure or due to other reasons.
