Using the PeakShiftDayConfiguration feature

This feature allows you to configure the PeakShiftDayConfiguration option in the PowerManagement category. Peak Shift configuration minimizes AC power consumption during the peak power usage period of the day. During the Peak Shift period, AC power will not be consumed, and the system runs on battery if the battery charge is more than the set battery threshold value. After the Peak Shift period, the system runs on AC power, if available, without charging the battery. The system functions normally using AC power, and recharges the battery after the specified Charge Start Time.

PeakShiftCfg—Enables or disables the peak shift configuration.

  • Enabled—Enables the peak shift configuration on specific days for a specific period specified using Peak Shift Start Time, Peak Shift End Time, and Peak Shift Charge Start Time.
  • Disabled—Disables the peak shift configuration feature.

If enabled, configure the following:

NOTE:The configuration applies to all batteries: Primary, Slice, and Module Bay.
NOTE:PeakShiftDayConfiguration feature is not supported on ARM64 systems.
  • StartTime—Specifies the time when system starts consuming battery power. The system continues consuming the battery power until either the peakshift battery threshold is reached, or peakshift end time is reached.
  • EndTime—Specifies the time when system stops consuming battery power and starts consuming AC power, if available. However, the system does not charge battery.
  • ChargeStartTime—Specifies the time when the system starts charging the battery while consuming AC power, if available.
NOTE:Peak Shift Start Time must be less than or equal to Peak Shift End Time, and Peak Shift End Time must be less than or equal to Peak Shift Charge Start Time.
Example: To retrieve the PeakShiftDayConfiguration current settings. The StartTime, EndTime, and ChargeStartTime are displayed for all days. 
Get-Item -Path DellSmbios:\PowerManagement\PeakShiftDayConfiguration
Example: To set the PeakShift StartTime, EndTime, and ChargeStartTime for Sunday. 
Set-Item -Path DellSmbios:\PowerManagement\PeakShiftDayConfiguration Sunday -StartTime "12:45" -EndTime "14:30" -ChargeStartTime "16:15"
Example: To change StartTime value for Monday. EndTime and ChargeStartTime values remain unchanged for Monday. 
Set-Item -Path DellSmbios:\PowerManagement\PeakShiftDayConfiguration Monday -StartTime "09:00"
