PEAK POWER CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD

A peak power control (PPC) system/method providing a uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to one or more protected load devices (PLD) supplied by power supply units (PSU) serviced by a primary power source (PPS) and a secondary power source (SPS) is disclosed. The PPS is configured to provide only a portion of peak power demand (PPD) required by the PSU to support the PLD power demand. During periods where power supplied by the PPS is insufficient to support the PLD power demand, the SPS augments the power supplied to the PSU to meet the PLD power demand. During periods where power supplied by the PPS is sufficient to meet the PLD power demand, the SPS is recharged by any excess power available from the PPS. Power provisioning controls (PPC) generate state control information (SCI) instructing the PLD to modulate computing clock speeds and/or prioritize PLD computing tasks in real-time.
