EVENT-BASED POWER PROVISIONING SYSTEM

摘要

A power provisioning system includes power sourcing equipment having a plurality of ports. The power source equipment is configured to provide power to each of the plurality of the ports. A plurality of powered devices are each coupled to at least one of the plurality of ports. A controller is coupled to the power sourcing equipment through a network. The controller receives event information, determines that the event information corresponds to a first powered device of the plurality of powered devices and, in response, instructs the power sourcing equipment to provide power to the first powered device through the at least one of the plurality of ports that are coupled to the first powered device. In different embodiments, the event information may include an identification or authorization of a user, a determination that a scheduled area use is occurring, or the receiving of an emergency alert.
