Abstract

Techniques, systems, and articles of manufacture for reducing conversion losses and minimizing load via appliance level distributed storage. A method includes identifying an alternating current power source associated with a direct current-powered device, determining a storage scheme for storing direct current power, converted from alternating current power input from the identified alternating current power source, in a local storage component associated with the direct current-powered device, and managing output of direct current power to the direct current-powered device based on the storage scheme and the identified alternating current power source.
