Energy consumption has become an increasingly prominent
In terms of data center owners to maintain the normal operation of data centers to run the huge energy expenditure has been required to make them feel worried.
In the traditional data Zhongxin, customer order ensure maximum uptime and the most secure in the run, had frequent redundant power of Jichusheshi Wei Hu, Jin Zhe Xiang cost up to several millions of dollars each year. Addition to the server, storage, networking and other equipment, consumes itself in the year Zengjia Wai order to ensure security Xing Shi Yong of the UPS power Xitong, his enormous battery itself to divergent energy, to ensure they have Shige temperature leads to a functioning IT equipment , air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, power consumption is also rising at an alarming rate, the data shows, in the amount of power consumed by data centers, nearly 50% of the electricity used to air conditioning and refrigeration. 2007, China’s total power consumption of IT products is about 30 billion -500 billion kilowatt hours, almost equivalent to the total power generation of Three Gorges power station a year, including data center power consumption of IT products account for about 40% of data center power consumption about 40 billion kwh. Costs arising from energy consumption has become the IT industry, operating costs, the industry consumed 30% to 50% of which, UPS, air conditioning and other peripheral equipment, power consumption is much higher than the host.
Forecast third-party research company data, data center energy efficiency if you do not adjust it in the next five years, more than 90% of the enterprises would face power availability constraints lead to the interruption of data center operations; will be 25% of the data center so serious business interruption.
Reduce energy consumption around the corner. This continued increase in operating costs, if not to transform the data center will be the pain of the user in mind forever. U.S. Active Power Inc. abandoning the traditional use of lead-acid batteries for UPS power storage means, the creative vacuum magnetic levitation of the flywheel based energy storage technologies, in a vacuum environment, the use of rotating the flywheel kinetic energy storage, continuous conversion to electricity, To provide uninterrupted power critical load protection, while its low energy consumption, no need to replace the battery, TCO 60% lower total cost of ownership; this completely without the battery’s power system can be minus 20 degrees to 40 degrees of zero on the environment work, eliminating the need for air conditioning costs, reduce energy consumption. Since 2000, Active Power has accumulated more than 200 million degrees to help customers save energy, save each and every day is still ongoing.
To protect their safety and security conflicts
UPS power system’s designed to ensure the normal use of the computer, the UPS system traditional chemicals used in batteries for energy storage technologies, storage Dan Yuan Zuo Wei has developed a very mature, Bingqie UPS Zhenggehangye to make a great contribution. But with technological innovation, battery exposed some problems, according to industry statistics, UPS 70% of the failure was caused by the battery, and other such self-heating, covers an area of large, high failure rate, more intensive maintenance cycle problems, so that the battery through a traditional UPS system, the least reliable component.
Austin, Texas from the excellent precision of “magnetic flywheel” technology, with more than 150 global patents. The weight of more than 200 kilograms of the flywheel in a vacuum environment maintained per minute 7700 rpm. And a few decades ago bulky, unstable compared to the giant flywheel, the new “magnetic wheel” has clearly achieved a successful large-scale commercial. Today, the United States by virtue of Active Power Inc., the leading core technologies, products have been sold on six continents, in over 50 countries have deployed more than 700 megawatts of critical load to provide high-quality power protection, total running time is not interrupted more than 77 million hours.

New ideas low carbon economy
In the field of information technology, although reliable, digital, intelligent, networking, security, etc. are all present within the UPS industry, technology R & D focus of concern, but “environmental protection, energy conservation,” UPS continues to be the world’s R & D core.
Currently, data centers worldwide carbon dioxide emissions have been accounted for 2% of carbon dioxide emissions, the information device to the atmosphere each year about 35 million tons of waste gas emissions, equivalent to the entire aviation industry’s carbon dioxide emissions. Europe has launched a new carbon emission standards. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued one on a listed company must disclose to investors the risks associated with climate change the new guidelines. This year in April, the US-Japan agreement Ouda into green data centers, the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the European Union Code of Conduct and the Japanese Ministry of Economy supports this. All along, our lack of green data center standards and policy guidance, the relevant existing standards do not meet the requirements for the development of green energy, green data center’s overall research lags behind. However, the series of problems has caused the relevant state departments attention. Development and Reform Commission and the responsible Engineering and Information Ministry said, as the information society’s critical infrastructure, data center construction thing Guan national strategy development, to building green data centers into “energy reduction” of the national strategy, the relevant departments and industry will take action, join forces to jointly promote the construction and development of green data center.
