Predictive power distribution unit output load switching for input phase balancing

A system, comprising one or more computer processors;

• and a memory containing a program which when executed by the one or more computer processors performs an operation, the operation comprising:
• measuring PDU output port power values of PDU output ports that distribute power to a plurality of loads over time;
• performing pattern recognition on the PDU output port power values over time to produce recognized power patterns;
• creating switching rules based on the recognized power patterns to provide input phase load balancing, wherein the switching rules include at least one of (i) predicted output port power values for a periodic time interval, or (ii) predicted output port power values based on the measured PDU output port power values associated with the loads;
• and
• switching input phases that connect to one or more PDU output ports based on the switching rules.

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by one or more computer processors to perform an operation comprising:

• measuring PDU output port power values of PDU output ports that distribute power to a plurality of loads over time;
• performing pattern recognition on the PDU output port power values over time to produce recognized power patterns;
• creating switching rules based on the recognized power patterns to provide input phase load balancing, wherein the switching rules include at least one of (i) predicted output port power values for a periodic time interval, or (ii) predicted output port power values based on the measured PDU output port power values associated with the loads;
• and
• switching input phases that connect to one or more PDU output ports based on the switching rules.
