    Abstract: A system includes a power-consuming, at least one energy storage device, and a power management system. The facility is configured to receive electrical power from an electric utility grid. The energy storage device is located at the power consuming facility and is configured to store electrical energy from the electrical power received from the electric utility grid. The power management system is configured to receive, from the electric utility grid, a request that indicates an amount of power and, in response to the request, to cause at least a portion of the power-consuming facility to be powered by the at least one energy storage device rather than the power received from the electric utility grid such that an amount of the received power consumed by the power-consuming facility is reduced by at least the indicated amount.

    Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that includes supplying power to a portion of a data center through a power distribution line. Utilization of a statistically significant sample of the computers is monitored, and an estimated individual power draw for each of the computers based on the utilization is calculated. An estimated total power draw is calculated for different times from the estimated individual power draws to generate a collection of estimated total power draw values for the different times. Actual power draw is monitored at the power distribution line and a collection of actual power draw values is generated. A function is fitted to pairs of actual power draw values and estimated power draw values, each pair comprising an actual draw value and an estimated draw value for the same time, and the function is then stored.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for balancing the load placed by a data center on different phases of a power input. According to the method and apparatus, the load on the power is monitored and a load imbalance detected. Once the load imbalance is detected, a server rack from the data center is selected and a power supply in the selected server rack is reconfigured to output an increased or decreased voltage.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving a first input through a hands-based input device. A prompt is then output, and input responsive to the prompt may be received through either of a hands-based input device or a hands-free input device. Responsive to receiving a second input through a hands-free input device, a determination that the second input is responsive to the prompt may be made, an operation based on the second input may be performed, and cessation of the output of the prompt may occur.

    Abstract: A network switch includes a power connection configured to receive power from a primary power source and at least two ports. At least a first one of the ports is configured to connect to a first network interface of a first computing device through a communication medium configured to conduct operating power for the network switch. The first network interface is configured to draw electrical power from a power supply of the first computing device and provide, through the network cable, at least a portion of the drawn electrical power as the operating power. A switching circuit is configured to route network data between the ports and a power management circuit coupled at least to the first port. The power management circuit is configured to draw at least a portion of the operating power from the first port, and power the switching circuit using the drawn power responsive to a detected failure of the primary power source.
