Data Center Power Audit
Electrical losses (EL) in transformers and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, as well as the electricity necessary to operate information technology (IT), HVAC, and the heat of melting from the room, are the three main sources of power consumption in the data center.
The data center’s “useful work” is the construct function, which may be scaled to audit in kilowatts (kW) for a certain time or in kilowatt-hours (kWh) for continuous use. The useful work (in kW) is divided by the electricity required to produce it to assess efficiency. The electrical components required to perform beneficial work can be measured, revealing information about the data center’s efficiency.
