Abstract
An edge device, method and computer program product may perform, include or cause performance of various operations. The operations include determining an amount of electrical energy that an edge device is expected to have available from a local renewable energy system during each of a plurality of time periods and determining an amount of electrical energy that the edge device is expected to use for operations during each of the plurality of time periods. The operations further include identifying a first one of the time periods for which the determined amount of electrical energy that the edge device is expected to have available from the local renewable energy system is greater than the determined amount of electrical energy that the edge device is expected to use for operations and causing a cooling system that cools the edge device to perform an overcooling operation during the identified first time period.
