SERVER INSTALLATION AS A GRID CONDITION SENSOR

摘要

This document relates to analyzing electrical grid conditions using server installations. One example obtains first grid condition signals describing first grid conditions detected by a first server installation during a first time period. The first server installation is connected to a first electrical grid and first previous grid failure events have occurred on the first electrical grid during the first time period. The example also obtains second grid condition signals describing second grid conditions detected by a second server installation during a second time period. The second server installation is connected to a second electrical grid that is geographically remote from the first electrical grid and second previous grid failure events have occurred on the second electrical grid during the second time period. The example also includes using the first grid condition signals and the second grid condition signals to predict a future grid failure event on the second electrical grid.

主权项

1. A control system comprising:
a hardware processor; and a hardware computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to implement a grid analysis module and an action causing module, wherein the grid analysis module is configured to:
obtain first grid condition signals describing first grid conditions detected by a first server installation during a first time period, wherein the first server installation is connected to a first electrical grid and a previous grid failure event that has occurred on the first electrical grid during the first time period; anduse the first grid condition signals to obtain a prediction of a future failure event on a second electrical grid; and wherein the action causing module is configured to:
based on the prediction, cause an adjustment to an energy storage state of an energy storage device or a current generator state of a generator at a second server installation that is connected to the second electrical grid.
