The papers highlights uninterruptible power supply efficiency in saving on data center energy costs.
Small percentage increases in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) efficiency have the potential to add up to millions of dollars in energy cost savings for data centers, according to Brad Thrash, product manager, global AC power systems, GE’s Critical Power business. That’s the case articulated in a newly released white paper from GE on the energy efficiency of multi-mode UPS systems used in data centers around the globe.
According to Frost & Sullivan1, raising energy efficiency levels of UPS systems in data centers from 90% to 98% can save the United States $3 billion annually in energy costs.
