Every electrical engineer learns about loss. What is less well taught is how transmission losses produce more carbon and other GHGs

With edge data centers, operators could end up running thousands of sites, and most won't be staffed full-time. Who will be making sure that the UPS remains fully functional?

You can shave off some power losses, but your UPS won't isolate your systems so well

UPS systems are critical to continuity, so plan as if that is true

If you've got UPSs at multiple Edge site, do you manage them yourself, or use a third party? Here's how to decide

For today’s data center operators, downsizing legacy UPSs can offer a better return on investment (ROI), lower energy costs and increased resiliency, so why isn’t anyone talking about it?

Alternative electrically coupled UPS technologies are changing the way cloud providers should think about power at scale

Finding the key to meeting excessive growth within multi-tenant data centers and beyond

Ignore your infrastructure and you will see these symptoms

There is more than one kind of lead acid battery!

Lithium-ion battery systems are more than just the chemistry used to store and supply energy

ARP creates a control plane where decisions about routing electrical can be taken and enacted, based on a real-time assessment of the actual needs of the data center. Peter Judge talks to Ed Ansett about an invention due to be revealed at DCD>London

Li-ion chemistry and machine learning unlock new resiliencies

A monitoring system will typically display the battery status, and record any changes to resistance, temperature or voltage

With UPS-as-a-Reserve, data centers can be compensated either for not drawing power, or for offering capacity back to the grid

Here’s why static, double-conversion online UPSs use transformerless technology

Nearly all data centers use online UPS topologies, here’s why

UPS systems featuring Silicon Carbide transistors could save energy and negate risks associated with eco-mode

The role of UPS systems for total mains failure is well understood - however, UPSs also play an important part in protecting a critical load from all manner of other mains disturbances

The benefits of digital rotary UPS (DRUPS) systems may be overstated, because static systems are not standing still

Eco-mode saves power but increases the risks associated with a UPS. Silicon carbide could give the best of both worlds 

You can get paid for your spare energy. Just be careful to understand what is possible

At last, high-performance Lithium-ion batteries can beat established flywheel technology to provide the features that a UPS needs 

UPSs with the right topology, communications and software can contribute to a data center’s DCIM strategy
