Further embodiments include a method of operating a combined power and IT module including step of providing a combined power and IT module including a housing, an IT load, and a DC power generator which is electrically connected to the IT load, wherein the IT load and the DC power generator are both located in the housing, and operating the DC power generator to supply power to the IT load.

主权项

1. A combined power and IT modular system, comprising:
a housing; an IT load in a data center comprising at least one server, a storage device and a network component comprising a router; a DC power generator which is electrically connected to the IT load, wherein the IT load and the DC power generator are both located in the housing; and a power connection configured to connect to a secondary load; wherein:
the secondary load is provided in addition to an AC grid;the secondary load is located outside of the housing; andthe IT modular system is configured to variably shift between supplying power to the IT load and supplying power to the secondary load by supplying an amount of power split among the IT load and the secondary load at a first time, then at a second time diverting a first portion of the amount of power less than 100% from the secondary load to the IT load as an amount of IT service is increased, and then at a third time diverting a second portion of the amount of power less than 100% from the IT load to the secondary load as an amount of power demand of the secondary load increases.
