Limiting Power Losses
In order to improve the performance of the electrical infrastructure in data centers, it is necessary to look at solutions to reduce power losses related to power transformation and Uninterruptible Power Supply via power and distribution systems.
Nowadays, power losses related to energy transformation and Uninterruptible Power Supply represent about 10% of the total energy consumption of a datacenter, while cooling alone represents 32%.
In view of the efforts made on the cooling side, in particular through designs that allow the use of free cooling, these power losses will take up a significant part of the datacenter's energy balance.
In order to improve the efficiency of the electrical infrastructure, it is therefore necessary to look at solutions that reduce this percentage, particularly via the power supply and distribution systems.
Continuous Power Feeds
Guaranteeing a power demand as close as possible to real needs, Uninterruptible Power Supplies with optimized energy efficiency enable a reduction in power losses by increasing the efficiency of the Uninterruptible Power Supply, it will give off less heat, which will reduce losses in cooling and consumption. Legrand offers Uninterruptible Power Supply solutions that achieve efficiencies of up to 96% (double conversion Voltage Frequency Independent).
HT/ BT Green T.HE Transformers
They provide high energy efficiency and reduce the environmental footprint (less polluting substances). Thus, with these high efficiency transformers, we observe on average 3 times less loss than with a standard transformer. Legrand's GreenT.HE offer brings you solutions with AoBk, AoAk and AAoAk loss levels. The classification according to EN 50588 - 1 standard stipulates that the transformer with the least reduced loss will be class AAoAk.
PDU PX® Smart Products
Raritan's offering includes 230 Volt and 415 Volt models in hundreds of different configurations, including outlet by outlet monitoring for datacenter energy efficiency. Remote and rack level data collection of current ampere, voltage, power watt, and energy consumption per hour; allows you to evaluate entire racks and individual Information Technology equipment, identify racks consuming more power than necessary, and deploy stray power.
Environmental Soundings
Raritan's Plug and Play server rack sensors for PX Power Distribution Units, transfer switches and EMX environmental rack controllers allow you to:
- Achieve optimal temperatures in your datacenters and minimize Heating, ventilation, and Air Conditioning system consumption
- Identify air pressure differences that may indicate leaks at hot and cold aisle separations
- Monitor cooling air and hot air return flows to ensure that cooling and containment systems are operating optimally
