Green Solutions in Mission-Critical
Facilities through Industry-Leading
High-Efficiency Power Electronics
Demands for mission-critical facilities have dramatically increased in
recent years in particular to support the expansion of information-related
1
businesses . A critical facility such as a data center requires an
environmental controlled room and space to accommodate various
electronics equipments as well as a high-availability power supply and
protection system. It is well-known that building and running an
environmentally controlled facility is costly. With the rising cost of energy
and growing environmental concerns, building design and management of
mission-critical applications have become even more challenging.
High level performance site infrastructure features redundant power
capacity, fault tolerance, constant cooling and enough space for
maintenance and future reconfiguration
size effective uninterruptible power supplies play a key role in powering
these critical applications at a low cost of ownership. Recent advances in
power electronics have led to a new generation of higher efficiency UPS
systems with compactness and higher efficiency to meet current and
future demands in terms of efficiency, greenhouse emissions, reliability,
layout reconfiguration and power availability.
This white paper examines the recent technological advances in power
availability solutions and points out the many benefits end-users can
achieve by using cutting edge industrial electronics.
