This image provides detailed information on Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), a key metric for measuring the energy efficiency of a data center.
The overall structure shows that power received from the High Power Receiver is distributed to various components, including IT equipment and cooling systems, through the Power Distributor.
To calculate PUE, several granular metrics are required, such as IT power, cooling power, and total power consumption. These detailed items are grouped into larger categories for easier management and standardization.
For example, IT power is further broken down into servers, storage, and network equipment. Cooling power includes CRAC units, cooling towers, and pump systems. The power supply stages are also differentiated to identify points of power loss.
Furthermore, detailed monitoring of individual IT and cooling equipment power consumption enables more accurate PUE calculation and optimization.
In summary, effective PUE management requires categorizing the total power usage into IT power, cooling power, and other power, and then further subdividing these groups into standardized, measurable components. Real-time monitoring and data analysis are crucial for continually improving energy efficiency in the data center.
