1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a controller, first data indicative of renewable energy generated at a site, wherein the site comprises one or more building end use systems configured to consume energy;
predictively determining, by the controller, an energy demand of the one or more building end use systems;
determining, by the controller, a computational workload based on the first data and the predictively determined energy demand, wherein the computational workload is configured such that, when executed by one or more computational devices, the one or more computational devices generate energy to at least partially satisfy a predicted energy shortfall between (i) the renewable energy generated at the site and (ii) the predictively determined energy demand of the one or more building end use systems; and
transmitting, from the controller, the computational workload to the one or more computational devices for generating energy to at least partially satisfy the predicted energy shortfall.
