In a typical data center, less than half of the power consumption goes into the computing function. Consequently, data-center operators are looking at every opportunity to improve power conversion and distribution efficiency, including eliminating the number of conversion stages through the distribution of high voltage direct-current sources.
This article, featured in the April 16, 2010 issue of Green SupplyLine, provides an update on the great strides that have been made during the last decade in the development of power semiconductor devices and products to help reduce wasted energy through improved efficiency at every stage of the power delivery system.
