According to an embodiment, an apparatus includes a power source (306), a set of primary loads (312), a set of life extension loads (310), and a controller (308). The power source is capable of supplying power and the set of primary loads is capable of being operated using the power. The set of life extension loads is capable of being operated using the power and capable of extending life of the set of primary loads. The controller is capable of controlling an operation of the set of primary loads and the set of life extension loads to optimize a total systems operating metric consisting of performance, energy use, and life to reduce a total cost. |
