New Green Grid White Paper Focuses On Eco Mode; Registration For The Green Grid Forum Opens
The Green Grid has published a new white paper titled, Evaluation of Eco Mode in Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems. The paper offers an extensive look into how Eco Mode can improve data center efficiency and overall Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) when appropriately deployed, and makes recommendations regarding other power distribution equipment to ensure a reliable power system. The full contents are free and available to the public on The Green Grid's website.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Eco Mode is one of The Green Grid Data Center Maturity Model's (DCMM) energy saving recommendations and can increase overall efficiency when implemented correctly. In order to help understand and deploy what is typically the highest-efficiency mode, the white paper breaks down key elements such as UPS technology and performance, critical power systems configuration, IT power supply ride-through, and utility grid reliability. The white paper explores each of these ideas and their trade-offs, helping data center operators understand Eco Mode from the ground up.
