VERTIV FIGHTS RISING DATACENTRE ENERGY COSTS WITH NEW UPS FEATURE

Vertiv has announced a new feature for its Liebert EXL S1 line of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, saying its addition of Dynamic Online mode allows operating efficiency of up to 99 per cent.

The UPS family is available in Asia, including Australia and New Zealand, from 300 kVA to 1200 kVA, 400V. The range is also available in Europe and North America and a variety of input and output voltages. Dynamic Online mode is available for Liebert EXL S1 globally.

“As data centres get larger, energy consumption has become increasingly important to data centre operators and owners, said Chee Hoe Ling, vice president for product and solutions and marketing in Asia.

Vertiv introduced Dynamic Online mode to the Liebert EXL S1 to meet the needs of cloud, colocation and enterprise data centres that cannot sacrifice any level of availability for incremental gains in efficiency.

“With efficiency up to 99 per cent, the Liebert EXL S1 operating in Dynamic Online mode offers substantial energy savings over legacy UPS systems which average 94 per cent efficiency, and even improves on modern UPS systems that approach 97 per cent efficiency.” the firm said.

“Over five years, a 1000 kVA Liebert EXL S1 can save more than US$230,000 over a same-capacity 94 per cent efficient UPS system and more than US$140,000 over a same-capacity 97 per cent efficient UPS system,” it added.
