Electrical Efficiency Modeling for Data Centers

Overview Conventional models used to estimate electrical efficiency of data centers are grossly inaccurate for real-world installations. Estimates of electrical losses typically are made by summing the inefficiencies of the various electrical devices, such as power and cooling equipment. This paper shows that the values commonly used for equipment inefficiency are quite inaccurate. A simple but effective means for modeling the efficiency of power and cooling equipment provides for much more accurate results.
