No Harmony in Harmonics

Common causes, implications and resolutions for problematic harmonic distortion in your electrical system

In this white paper you will read about the trouble with harmonics in modern power systems. Readers will learn about the technical view of harmonics and solutions to compensate for and reduce harmonics. Read the key advantages of HMTs (harmonic-mitigating transformer) and other mitigating techniques.

Emerging UPS Standby Power Sources

Four Promising Alternatives to the Lead Acid Battery
By Ed Spears

Several exciting new standby power solutions, all rapidly approaching mainstream commercial viability, appear poised to give the lead acid battery a run for its money. This white paper will explore the strengths, weaknesses and future prospects of four such technologies: Flywheels, ultracapacitors, fuel cells and lithium ion batteries.

Is an energy-wasting data center draining your bottom line?

New technology options and power distribution strategies can dramatically reduce the cost and carbon footprint of your data center

An unforgiving economic climate has left many organizations struggling to sustain (or restore) profitability. Many of them reacted to the downturn by restructuring, trimming back R&D and marketing, and laying off employees. All of these moves leave a company in a vulnerable position when the market rebounds, which it inevitably will.

Meanwhile, huge potential savings are sitting, untapped, right in the company’s data center.

This white paper looks at two key ways that data center managers can improve end-to-end energy efficiency: by changing the voltage of power distribution and by taking advantage of new, high-efficiency, multi-mode uninterruptible power systems (UPSs).

Right-Sizing Your Power Infrastructure

How to optimize energy efficiency without impeding growth

Data centers today are undergoing unprecedented change, as new technologies such as virtualization, cloud computing help lower operating costs, conserve floor space and simplify management.

This white paper discusses the ways in which new technologies are impacting power demand patterns, explores the consequences of having too much power capacity and provides concrete advice on strategies for right-sizing your power systems.
