Abstract

Methods and systems for managing energy sources and energy consumers in an integrated system are provided. Certain subject matter presented herein relates to automatically scheduling jobs and their sub-tasks to maximize profit by comparing power source configurations and determining the best job schedule for the power source configurations. This system broadly involves two sub-problems: determining the best power source configuration and determining the best job schedule for the given power source configuration.
