  • Patent number: 10200303
    Abstract: Various methods and systems for implementing resource management for an infrastructure are provided. Resource management includes datacenter byproduct management interfaces, datacenter power management, datacenter operations optimization and infrastructure resource management. Resource management facilitates using and distributing physical resources, including incidental physical resources that are generated during operation of an infrastructure, based on a minimum threshold reserve of the physical resource associated with the operating the infrastructure. Resource management can include controlling an amount of the physical resource that is generated and an amount the physical resource that is reserved. The minimum threshold reserve in combination with the control over generating and reserving the physical resource help identify an allocable amount of the physical resource. Physical resources of an infrastructure are quantified to support resource management.

  • Publication number: 20180329374
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing an energy storage device charging schedule are provided. In one example, a method may include calculating a merit value for a current time frame based on current data concerning predetermined criteria; calculating respective merit values for one or more future time frames based on the current data and historical data concerning the predetermined criteria; identifying, from among the current time frame and the one or more future time frames, a plurality of candidate charge adjustment time frames; and assigning, from among the plurality of candidate charge adjustment time frames, one or more charge adjustment time frames during which to adjust a charge level of an energy storage device based on at least the merit values associated with the plurality of candidate charge adjustment time frames.

  • Publication number: 20180321726
    Abstract: Various methods and systems for implementing resource management for an infrastructure are provided. Resource management includes datacenter byproduct management interfaces, datacenter power management, datacenter operations optimization and infrastructure resource management. Resource management facilitates using and distributing physical resources, including incidental physical resources that are generated during operation of an infrastructure, based on a minimum threshold reserve of the physical resource associated with the operating the infrastructure. Resource management can include controlling an amount of the physical resource that is generated and an amount the physical resource that is reserved. The minimum threshold reserve in combination with the control over generating and reserving the physical resource help identify an allocable amount of the physical resource. Physical resources of an infrastructure are quantified to support resource management.

  • Publication number: 20100141039
    Abstract: Unlike symmetric power feeds for dual-corded server environments, an asymmetrical power system for high availability environments uses an imbalanced power feed system, allowing lower cost implementation and, in some cases, reduced energy loss in the primary power supply path. One asymmetric power feed uses a direct power feed to supply normal operating power and uses a second system to supply back up power via a switched, conditioned, path with UPS and generator. Because the main power delivery is through the direct line, reliability and power loss are improved.
