Vertiv implementing efficient power solutions in Data Centers
EPR Magazine (Electrical & Power Review)
|October 2024
Liebert APM2, a new online double-conversion UPS by the company, is designed to enhance power protection for distributed IT networks. Its up to 97.5 percent peak efficiency in double conversion mode and 99 percent efficiency in dynamic online mode drive significant energy and cost savings.
Data centers can enhance sustainability and reliability through on-site renewable energy solutions, microgrid technologies, and advanced UPS systems. These can significantly reduce energy consumption and operational costs while supporting climate goals. Vikas Srivastava has to share more on the domain.
How can data centers effectively implement on-site renewable energy generation solutions?
As companies begin to prioritise responsible business strategies, data centers should consider more sustainable energy sources as environment-friendly alternatives. This can be done via on-site renewable energy generation options such as solar panels, wind turbines, and using batteries to store surplus energy for later consumption. Furthermore, from a grid management perspective, working with utility providers to optimise power consumption during off-peak hours or using alternative energy sources during peak hours and tapping into the grid only when needed, can help manage needs in regions with strained power grids.
