Abstract: Systems include one or more critical datacenter connected to behind-the-meter flexible datacenters. The critical datacenter is powered by grid power and not necessarily collocated with the flexible datacenters, which are powered “behind the meter.” When a computational operation to be performed at the critical datacenter is identified and determined that it can be performed more efficiently or advantageously at a flexible datacenter, the computational operation is instead obtained by the flexible datacenters for performance The critical datacenter and flexible datacenters preferably share a dedicated communication pathway to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency, secure data transmissions. A queue system may be used to organize computational operations waiting for distribution to either the critical datacenter or the flexible datacenter.

Abstract: Examples relate to a method includes monitoring a set of parameters. The set of parameters are associated with a first set of computing components and a second set of computing components. The first set of computing components is located in a first region and the second set of computing components is located in a second region. The first region is positioned proximate a generation station control system associated with a generation station and the second region is positioned remotely from the generation station control system. Each computing system of the second set of computing systems is configured to adjust power consumption during operation. The method also includes adjusting power consumption at one or more computing components of the second set of computing components based on the set of parameters.

Abstract: A system includes a flexible datacenter and an energy storage unit that receives and stores power from one or more grid-scale power generation units. The energy storage unit and the flexible datacenter are connected behind-the-meter to the power generation unit(s) such that they are not typically subject to grid transmission and distribution fees. By various methods, behind-the-meter power is routed between the power generation unit(s), the energy storage unit, the flexible datacenter, and/or the grid based on a variety of conditions and operational directives.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a distributed power control system can include a datacenter and a remote master control system. The datacenter can include (i) computing systems, (ii) a behind-the-meter power input system configured to receive power from a behind-the-meter power source and deliver power to the computing systems, and (iii) a datacenter control system configured to control the computing systems and the behind-the-meter power input system. The remote master control system can be configured to issue instructions to the datacenter that affect an amount of behind-the-meter power consumed by the datacenter. The datacenter control system can receive, from a local station control system configured to at least partially control the behind-the-meter power source, a directive for the datacenter to ramp-down power consumption, and in response to receiving the directive, cause the computing systems to perform a set of predetermined operations correlated with the directive.

Abstract: Examples relate to adjusting load power consumption based on a power option agreement. A computing system may receive power option data that is based on a power option agreement and specify minimum power thresholds associated with time intervals. The computing system may determine a performance strategy for a load (e.g., set of computing systems) based on a combination of the power option data and one or more monitored conditions. The performance strategy may specify a power consumption target for the load for each time interval such that each power consumption target is equal to or greater than the minimum power threshold associated with each time interval. The computing system may provide instructions the set of computing systems to perform one or more computational operations based on the performance strategy.

Abstract: Example embodiments for providing computation resource availability based on power-generation signals are presented herein. An embodiment may involve receive information indicative of power-generation economic signals at a first control system and identifying at least one of: (i) a change in a power-generation economic signal that exceeds a predefined threshold change, (ii) a power-generation economic signal that is below a predefined lower threshold limit, or (iii) a power-generation economic signal that is above a predefined upper threshold limit. Responsive to the identification, the embodiment involves performing at least one of: (i) adjusting a rate of power use by a flexible datacenter, and (ii) providing an indication of computation resource availability to a second control system. The flexible datacenter may include a behind-the-meter power input system, a power distribution system, and computing systems configured to receive power from the behind-the-meter power input system via the power distribution system.
