Power modes can be used to save energy in electronic devices but a low power level typically degrades performance. This trade-off is addressed in the so-called EP-queue model, which is a queue depth dependent M/GI/1 queue augmented with power-down and power-up phases of operation. The ability to change service times by power settings allows us to leverage a Markov Decision Process (MDP), which approach we illustrate using a simple fully solar-powered case study with finite states representing levels of battery charge and solar intensity.
