Systems and methods for energy management of operation technology networks by an information technology network

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a container orchestration system of an industrial automation system, a first application programming interface (API) call indicative of a first time window for monitoring electrical power consumption of a first plurality of devices of an industrial automation system from a first external API of a first external device;
• outputting, by the container orchestration system, one or more first information technology (IT) commands in response to receiving the first API call, wherein the one or more first IT commands are configured to cause at least one of the first plurality of devices to adjust one or more operations during the first time window;
• and
• mapping, by the container orchestration system, the one or more first IT commands to one or more first operation technology (OT) commands, wherein a first control system is configured to implement the one or more first OT commands on the at least one of the first plurality of devices.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry of a cloud computing system, cause the processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first application programming interface (API) call indicative of a first time window for monitoring electrical power consumption of a first plurality of devices of an industrial automation system from a first external API;
• outputting one or more first information technology (IT) commands to a first container node of the industrial automation system in response to receiving the first API call, wherein the one or more first IT commands are configured to cause at least one of the first plurality of devices to adjust one or more operations during the first time window;
• and
• mapping the one or more first IT commands to first operation technology (OT) commands, wherein a first control system of the industrial automation system is configured to implement the one or more first OT commands on the first plurality of devices.
