GE Delivers Uninterruptible Power & Energy Efficiency to Data Centers
GE Digital Energy’s 750kVA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) has been ecomagination certified after completing GE’s rigorous
ecomagination certification Product Review (EPR) process.
GE’s 750kVA UPS system, certified as a GE ecomagination product delivers uninterruptible power to the booming global data center industry at industry leading efficiency.
GE’s 750kVA UPS system helps customers reduce their energy consumption and costs. At a typical 50 percent load, GE’s 750kVA UPS
system achieves efficiency of more than 94 percent, delivering uninterruptible power to the booming global data center industry
at higher efficiency than competitors’ systems.
Ten GE 750kVA UPS systems operating in a typical data center at 50 percent load use approximately 60kW to 100kW less power and
require on average 30kW to 50kW less power for cooling than competitors’ systems. This lowers the total power required to operate
and cool a data center by 90kW to 150kW on average, reducing annual electric energy consumption by an amount equivalent to that
of 70 to 120 U.S. households.
Using ten GE 750kVA UPS systems in a typical data center at 50 percent load can reduce operating and cooling electric energy
costs by $76,000 to $130,000 per year versus competitors’ systems, assuming an electric energy price of $0.10/kWh.
“As the IT industry’s demand for data storage grows significantly each year, so does the amount of energy needed
to run servers and data centers,” said Larry Sollecito, President and CEO, GE Digital Energy. “GE’s investment in more energy
efficient UPS technology helps data centers achieve a high level of energy efficiency without sacrificing high power capacity
or reliability.”
