Data Center Power Management System

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240419230 titled 'Data Center Power Management System

Original Abstract Submitted

a power management system is provided for powering a primary group of power consumers and a secondary group of power consumers. the primary group of power consumers include a data center including a plurality of first computing units. the secondary group of power consumers include a plurality of second computing units whose power consumption is adjustable to ensure the first computing units are continuously powered. the first computing units are in communication with a network for providing cloud services to remote client computers. the first computing units have an energy priority over the second computing units. the power management system includes power sources including a first power source and a second power source. the second power source is a power generation module configured to consume natural gas and continuously generate an electrical output sufficient to alternatively power the plurality of first computing units and the second computing units. the power management system also includes a monitoring and control system configured to receive status inputs including an operational status and/or an operational cost of each of the power sources, and power consumption metrics of the primary group of power consumers and/or the secondary group of power consumers. the monitoring and control system is also configured to output a control signal to decrease a power consumption by the secondary group of power consumers and to power the primary group of power consumers by the second power source as a function of the operational status and/or operational cost of each of the power sources.
