Abstract
Power management includes receiving power supply unit (PSU) power capacity data and PSU power consumption data from each PSU in a set of PSUs. A priority table is updated with controlled device power consumption data received from a set of controlled devices. If the PSU power consumption data of any PSU exceeds an associated threshold calculated based on the PSU power capacity data for the PSU, then one or more controlled devices are selected based on the controlled device power consumption data in the priority table. When power consumption data of any PSU exceeds the associated threshold, a power response procedure powers off at least one of the selected one or more controlled devices, reduces power supplied to at least one of the selected one or more controlled devices, or reduces an output voltage of any of the PSU for which the PSU power consumption data exceeds the associated threshold.
