Power Efficiency
1. Current Consumption and energy cost of DC
2. Check total consumption kW/h and cost applied per rack.
3. Electrical system dimensioning analysis: UPS, engine
generators, etc. (redundancy)
4. AC power events at main SB and Data Centre main SB:
5. Compare theoretical Vs. Real power consumption
6. Optimize electrical system to obtain the best power
performance
7. Optimal electrical system refrigeration (switchboards, UPS,
transformers, etc.)
Hardware Technology
