Introduction
Energy Management for Data Centers

Identify Power Quality Problems and Respond Proactively to Avoid Downtime and Damage to Equipment

Industry studies show that up to 40% of all downtime is power quality related and 80% of these issues originate within the facility. Additionally, 50% of mission critical power outages are due to power quality issues. Just one instance of a power outage can cost a data center up to $1 million. Downtime results not just in lost revenue, but also possible liability issues. EIG’s power and energy meters have advanced power quality monitoring features. When used with our energy management software – the HMIPQA+ SCADA application and the EnergyPQA.com® AI driven energy management system, data centers gain multiple ways to proactively identify potential power issues and optimize energy usage, reducing downtime, extending equipment lifespan, and improving overall operational efficiency. These metering devices and software solutions allow data center managers to pinpoint and address power quality problems before they cause critical disruptions.

  • View real time usage in a centralized location to gain control over all aspects of a data center’s energy use and power quality.
  • Perform customized reporting of critical energy management and power quality issues.
  • Generate alarms on programmed limits for energy and power quality.
  • Identify specific circuits to provide simple meaningful actions that improve reliability and safety of the data center’s power system.
  • Perform detailed root-cause analysis of downtime events.
  • Log historical data for trend analysis and capacity planning.
  • Enable early detection of issues to perform preventative maintenance before failures occur.
  • Identify inefficiencies and prioritize areas for energy savings opportunities.
  • Collect, process, and display information for various data center key performance indicators (KPIs).
  • Analyze historical trends to help predict potential issues.

Identify Wasteful Facilities and Circuits to Improve Energy Efficiency

Energy costs are one of a data center’s biggest expenses. Manage data center energy resources and lower your energy costs with the EnergyPQA.com® energy management system’s smart analytics, which transforms traditional energy management by identifying the most energy wasteful facilities and circuits to maximize energy efficiency improvements. Using the data from EIG’s power and energy meters, this cloud-based system allows you to:

  • Automatically grade facilities for energy efficiency.
  • Identify potential savings by improving least efficient facilities and circuits.
  • Perform simple meaningful actions to save energy and costs by focusing on the most inefficient circuits.

Measure Data Center Power Usage Effectiveness

Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is an important metric for data centers. PUE is determined by dividing the total energy usage of the data center by the energy used for powering IT equipment. The resultant number indicates how much of a data center’s budget is used for income generation (IT equipment) and how much is used for other systems, such as cooling, that do not generate income directly. A PUE of 1 indicates that the data center is using its energy resources efficiently. A PUE greater than 1 indicates that the data center needs to focus on improving its energy usage efficiency.

The EnergyPQA.com® AI driven energy management system automatically calculates current PUE, PUE for the past month and past six months, and PUE heatmap for the data center. With this information, data center management can keep track of their PUE and then take steps to improve it if necessary.
