In one aspect, a computing device-implemented method includes receiving at least one triggering event signal from one or more components of a heat recovery system. The method also includes determining, based in part on the at least one triggering event signal, a computation workload assignment to be executed on one or more computation devices. The method further includes sending one or more command signals to the one or more computation devices. The one or more command signals include a portion of the computation workload assignment for execution by the one or more computation devices. The method also includes initiating capture of heat energy to be stored in one or more heat reservoirs, the heat energy being generated by the one or more computation device based upon the computation workload assignment.

An electric heat trace (EHT) control system and corresponding methods are provided. The system comprises a heat trace cable to heat a surface, a sensor that outputs a status value, and an EHT controller in communication with the heat trace cable and the sensor. The EHT controller receives the status value from the sensor, compares the status value to a first threshold, and outputs the status value and a first alarm flag when the status value meets the first threshold. The system further comprises a gateway in communication with the EHT controller. The gateway receives the output status value and the first alarm flag when output from the EHT controller, compares the status value to a second threshold, and communicates a second alarm flag to a management system in communication with the gateway when the status value meets the second threshold.
