1. A system comprising:
- a filter configured to;
receive mixed-frequency electricity having green electricity generated by a renewable power source mixed with brown electricity generated by a carbon fuel source, the green electricity being modulated at a first alternating current frequency and the brown electricity being modulated at a second alternating current frequency, andattenuate the second alternating current frequency of the mixed-frequency electricity to obtain filtered green electricity that is predominantly of the first alternating current frequency; and
a computing device confiqured to designate computing jobs powered by the filtered green electricity as green computing jobs and other computing jobs powered by the brown electricity as brown computing jobs.

Abstract
This document relates to management of computing devices using modulated electricity. One example includes assigning a set of time slices to a computing device for drawing electricity and subsequently causing the computing device to adjust consumption of the electricity by assigning a different set of time slices to the computing device.

9. A system comprising:
-
an electrical line carrying modulated electricity having green electricity produced by a green power source and brown electricity produced by a brown power source modulated at different alternating current frequencies, the green electricity being modulated at a first alternating current frequency and the brown electricity being modulated at a second alternating current frequency; a filter configured to attenuate the second alternating current frequency to obtain filtered green electricity; a rectifier configured to convert the filtered green electricity into direct current; and a computing device configured to run green computing jobs powered by the direct current. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
