Methods and Systems for Distributed Power Control

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions, that when executed by one or more processors of a datacenter control system of a flexible datacenter, cause the datacenter control system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first operational directive from a local station control system, wherein the local station control system is configured to at least partially control a behind-the-meter power source, wherein the first operational directive is an operational directive for the flexible datacenter to ramp-down power consumption, wherein the flexible datacenter further comprises (i) a plurality of computing systems powered by a behind-the-meter power input system and (ii) the behind-the-meter power input system configured to receive power from the behind-the-meter power source and deliver power to the plurality of computing systems, wherein the datacenter control system is configured to control the plurality of computing systems and the behind-the-meter power input system, and wherein a remote master control system is configured to issue instructions to the flexible datacenter that affect an amount of behind-the-meter power consumed by the flexible datacenter;
• and
• in response to receiving the first operational directive, causing the plurality of computing systems of the flexible datacenter to perform a first set of predetermined operations correlated with the first operational directive.
