Calculating Energy Savings Using High Efficiency DC Power Architecture in a Server Application
By GreenerBuildings Staff
December 9, 2007
This Excel-based calculator provides an estimate of the magnitude of the energy savings based on converting an AC-based powering architecture to a DC-based powering architecture for a rack of servers.
This Lawrence Berkeley National Labs High Performance Buildings for High Tech Industries site also includes a link to a calculator for determining energy savings from using high efficiency power conversion (UPS, AC-DC & DC-DC power supply ) in server applications.
