Abstract
A method for coordinating operation of an off-grid, hybrid power system and an information technology (IT) system comprising the following steps: powering the IT system with the off-grid, hybrid power system according to a power generation management scheme designed to maximize fuel savings, wherein the hybrid power system comprises a generator and an electrical energy storage source; monitoring tasks performed by the IT system with a processor; determining which component of the hybrid power system is currently powering the IT system; and dynamically changing the tasks performed by the IT system depending on which component of the hybrid power system is currently powering the IT system such that the IT system only performs high priority tasks when the energy storage source is powering the IT system and such that a queue of low priority tasks are held in abeyance until the generator is powering the IT system.
