1.Choose equipment with low energy consumption
The major energy consumers in the IDC room are data processing equipment such as servers and data storage. The large power consumption of data equipment requires more UPS power supply to supply power.The UPS power supply consumes a certain amount of energy in the power conversion, and the power is also lost in the transmission and distribution.In equipment that meets business needs or has the same processing storage capacity, the choice of low power is undoubtedly the key to energy conservation and emission reduction.
2.Reasonable layout of the UPS power supply in the computer room and the heat dissipation of the equipment in the computer room
There is no one-to-one correspondence between the heating equipment and the cooling equipment in the IDC room. The heat is taken away by the airflow in the equipment room.Inappropriate layout of the equipment room and installation of equipment hinder the movement of airflow, reduce the cooling effect, and consume more energy，Super long distance, super strong air supply requires more powerful fans and consumes more energy。Therefore,the problem of heat balance is not solved by accumulating air conditioners and heating equipment with sufficient cooling capacity in one computer room.
3.The UPS power supply in the IDC room is not tightly sealed, and the heat insulation effect is not good, which is also the focus of energy consumption。The doors and windows of the IDC room should be closed and good thermal insulation materials should be used. The walls, floors, and ceilings should be insulated. Especially in the southern region, the high temperature period in summer is long, and the heat transmitted by the outer wall should not be underestimated.
4.Select the appropriate power supply scheme, equipment and measures
The IDC computer room is important, but it does not mean that all equipment in the IDC computer room is equally important, requiring more than 99% power supply availability。Therefore, effectively and reasonably distinguish the electrical equipment in the IDC room, formulate different levels of power supply availability and power supply schemes, and avoid useless power supply capacity and power supply equipment redundancy.Not only reduces the investment in the power supply system, but also reduces the operating energy consumption。
Existing data show that more than 70% of UPS power system failure accidents are caused by battery failure.Therefore, battery performance has become the weakest link in the entire UPS power system. Lead-acid batteries are used in series, and the battery performance is determined by the worst battery. When one battery fails in the battery pack, it will affect the life of the entire battery pack，
Relat battery monitoring system is an online monitoring of important parameters such as single battery voltage, internal resistance, temperature, capacity, liquid leakage, etc. Once a parameter is found to be abnormal, it will immediately alarm, and it can prompt the maintainer to find problems or potential hidden dangers in time. It can not only greatly improve the reliability and safety of the UPS system, but also save battery costs and labor inspection costs.
