CENTRALIZED ADAPTIVE POWER MANAGEMENT

Abstract:

Methods, computer readable mediums, and systems for power management. The method of power management may include receiving first power supply unit (PSU) capacity data and first PSU consumption data from a first PSU to a supervisor; storing, via the supervisor, the first PSU capacity data and the first PSU consumption data in storage; receiving first controlled device power consumption data from a first controlled device to the supervisor; updating a priority table, stored in the storage, with the first controlled device power consumption data; making a first determination that the first PSU consumption data exceeds a first threshold, where, the first threshold is calculated based on at least the first PSU capacity data; and based on the first determination, initiating a power response procedure.
