A data center may use generators for backup power, where the backup generators are able to serve less than the maximal power load of the data center. The use of generators that can serve less than the maximal power load may be recognized by, and addressed by, the power policy for the data center. When utility power is lost, the power policy manager may detect that the data center is switching to generator power, and may have knowledge of the capacity of those generators. If the capacity is less than the maximal power load of the data center, the power policy manager may shed load by throttling equipment in the data center to lower power levels. The policy may specify which pieces of equipment are to be throttled. When utility power is restored, the throttling of the equipment may be removed by the power policy manager.

The power draw of equipment in a data center may be capped in order to keep the power draw under the capacity of the Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) that serves the data center. The current capacity of the UPS may be estimated, and the equipment may be controlled so as to keep the equipment's power draw under that current capacity. Factors that may affect the estimate of the UPS's current capacity include the history of temperature and humidity to which the UPS has been subject, and charge/discharge history of the UPS. Factors that may affect the decision of which equipment to throttle to a lower power level include: the current power load at the data center, the type of software that each server is running, and the demand for that software.
