  • Publication number: 20240118738
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing power loads of one or more data centers using a wide-area energy controller to operate local energy resources of the data center based on power control information generated by a remote data center control system are described. In one aspect, a system includes a set of local energy sources configured to provide power to the loads of the energy system and a wide-area energy controller. The wide-area energy controller includes a first interface communicably coupled to an application programming interface (API) that connects a remote data center control system to respective wide-area energy controllers of multiple data centers, the first interface being configured to receive power control information from the remote data center control system via the API. The wide-area energy controller includes a control unit configured to schedule the local energy sources to provide power to the loads based on the power control information.

  • Patent number: 11258300
    Abstract: A management device includes at least one processor communicatively coupled to at least one energy resource controller controlling at least one energy resource and to at least one deferrable load controller controlling power to at least one deferrable load. The is configured to receive an indication, determined based on a frequency value of an electrical network and a nominal frequency value, that a frequency anomaly event has occurred. Responsive to receiving the indication that the frequency anomaly event has occurred, the processor is also configured to determine, for at least one of the energy resource and the deferrable load, based on the frequency value, the nominal frequency value, and a power value of the electrical network, a respective power command, and cause at least one of the at least one energy resource and the at least one deferrable load to modify operation based on the respective power command.
