Innovative Auto-Adaptive Technologies

Improve energy efficiency while optimizing CAPEX

Pressure to Control Costs in the Data Center Affects Every Level from Operations to Senior Management

Low operating costs and a fast return on investment can now be achieved thanks to the latest developments in power management hardware and the proven technologies built into Eaton products and devices for data centers.

Variable Module Management System (VMMS)

Eaton's VMMS technology helps achieve high efficiency even when UPS load levels are low, which is typical in redundant UPS systems. VMMS can optimise the load levels of power modules in a single UPS or in parallel UPS systems by suspending extra UPS capacity. This means greater efficiency at lower load levels and optimum efficiency at all load levels.

Eaton Energy Saver System (ESS)

Eaton's ESS improves UPS efficiency levels to 99% by suspending the power modules when power conditioning is not required. The power is fed through the static bypass switch, and the UPS is ready to switch to double-conversion mode in less than two milliseconds, in the event of exceeding pre-set input limits. In addition to extremely low losses, the ESS mode provides filtering against fast low-energy transients. When compared to extremely high double conversion efficiency, ESS mode can still reduce losses by 74% with a typical UPS load.

UPS Paralleling with Hot Sync Technology

Field-tested and installed in thousands of installations around the world, Eaton´s patented load-sharing Hot Sync® technology has become the global reliability standard. This technology enables a multi-module configuration to operate in parallel without the need for inter-module communications. Not relying on communication link or master-control topology, the UPS provides the highest possible reliability by eliminating the single point of failure in a parallel operating UPS system.

UPS-as-a-Reserve

UPS-as-a-Reserve solution enables collocation data centers to increase their competitiveness by turning necessary investments into a revenue stream and using UPS systems to participate in frequency regulation. Energy providers will compensate data center operators for abstaining from energy consumption when needed to maintain grid frequency. An UPS with Eaton’s UPSaaR solution can be used to regulate demand via up and down stream charging and generate additional revenue as part of making the data center more competitive on price.

Easy Capacity Test (ECT) Load Testing

Load testing can be costly and time consuming - but not with the Eaton UPS. The Easy Capacity Test feature recirculates energy from the UPS for testing, so there's no need to spend money renting load banks and no time or energy wasted on temporary load connections.

ECT makes on-site testing easier during commissioning and scheduled maintenance by eliminating the need for large and expensive load banks and testing related operational costs. For example, by utilising ECT for on-site testing of a system comprising 6 units, you could save the cost price of one UPS.
