Abstract
A method of power flow mapping in a datacenter includes encoding, by a power supply unit of the datacenter, identification information that uniquely identifies the power supply unit, and modulating the encoded identification information onto a power cable, wherein the power supply unit receives operating power via the power cable. Modulating the encoded information onto the power cable further includes changing a voltage internal to the power supply unit to create a current change in the power cable.
