Abstract

See full text

Intermittently re-distributing power from three phases of a power grid connected to power consuming components of a data center by configuring power supply units (PSUs) which are integrated into each enclosure, two PSUs per enclosure. The distribution is determined by machine logic to: (i) meet the predicted power requirements of the power consuming components of the data center, and (ii) the use of first phase, second phase and third phase electrical powers is at least approximately in balance.
