The techniques include (a) receiving, from a utility server, pricing information for provision of power by a utility over a lookahead period; (b) determining, with reference to the pricing information, a highest cost of the power over a subset of the lookahead period and a lowest cost of the power over the subset, the highest cost occurring during a first time slot of the subset; (c) in response to determining that a discharge condition is satisfied, assigning the first time slot as a discharge time slot, including: (1) determining that a battery of a power supply device has a state of charge (SoC) of at least a fullness threshold and (2) determining that a difference between the highest cost and the lowest cost exceeds a threshold value; and (d) during the discharge time slot, operating the power supply device to provide power to connected devices using power drawn from the battery.",
