[0023] The Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of a data center is one of the key indicators for measuring whether a data center is energy-efficient.
[0024] PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness).
[0025] PUE = Total Energy Consumption of Data Center / Energy Consumption of IT Equipment. The total energy consumption of data center includes the energy consumption of IT equipment and the energy consumption of systems such as cooling and power distribution. Its value is greater than 1. The closer it is to 1, the less energy the non-IT equipment consumes, that is, the better the energy efficiency level.
[0026] This invention uses a power meter to detect the mains power consumption in the computer room to obtain the total power consumption in the computer room. Then, a power failure sensor is used to detect the total power consumption of IT equipment, or only the power consumption of the UPS output is detected. Finally, a power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value for the computer room is calculated.
[0027] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.
