DC Power for Improved Data Center Efficiency
Overview The mission of data centers in use today calls for them to be much more energy intensive than other office buildings. Recent reports prepared by this project team for the California Energy Commission estimated that the US annual energy consumption by the equipment in these centers can use up to 14.6 TWh, with supporting equipment such as Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) accounting for up to 7.1 TWh. The data center market represents an important component of the California economy as well as a considerable and growing source of electrical demand. Preliminary investigations confirmed that research with the objective of improving the efficiency of data center was warranted.
