Gartner has developed new metrics to measure data center energy efficiency beyond PUE. The new metrics are Idle Energy (IE), which measures the energy consumed when equipment is idle, and Computational Energy (CE), which measures the energy used for useful computation. IE + CE = Total Energy. Reducing IE improves efficiency. An example shows how improving IE from 56.43% to 49.37% through power capping increased annual useful energy by over 525,000 kWh, saving $55,000. The document recommends using kWh to evaluate efficiencies, reducing IE, and using CE to quantify energy for IT services.

Integration of PV, Battery and Supercapacitor in Islanded MicrogridAsoka Technologies
Nowadays battery is used to stabilize the DC bus voltage but battery has low power density and high energy density. Whereas the supercapacitor has high power density but low energy density. So, for high energy and power density the integration of battery and supercapacitor is more efficient. It is more challenging to integrate the different sources. So it is required a control strategy to integrate the battery and supercapacitor and provide continuous power to the load. It has also shown that the battery and supercapacitor charged in access mode of power and discharged in deficit mode of power. In this paper proposed a new approach to control the power and dc bus voltage.
Micro combined heat and power (CHP) units can provide benefits when installed in hospitals. Hospitals have continuous energy demands for both heat and electricity to power medical devices. Micro CHP units are more efficient than separate systems for generating heat and power as they can achieve up to 90% efficiency. Installing a micro CHP unit in a hospital can provide direct cost savings from reduced transmission losses and income from excess power exported to the grid, while making the hospital's energy supply more reliable and environmentally friendly. A feasibility study is required before installing a micro CHP unit to analyze energy demands and potential cost savings.

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF A GRID-CONNECTED PV SYSTEM FOR HOME APPLICATIONWayan Santika
The objective of the present study is to provide technical and economical analyses of a grid-connected PV system for a small house located in Bukit Jimbaran, Bali. The peak load of the house during observation was 390 watt and the daily electricity consumption is about 4.7 kWh. HOMER, a renewable energy system software developed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), was utilized for simulation and optimization. The house will be installed with a
grid-connected PV system which includes PV arrays, converters, and batteries (optional). The investment cost of the PV arrays is 3000 USD/kW and their lifetime, derating factor, and ground reflectance are 20 years, 90%, and 20%, respectively. The PV sizes to consider are 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 kilowatts. The grid applies a flat rate of about 0.1 USD/kWh.
The surplus energy of the PV system will be fed into the grid with a net metering system in which the meter run backward
when the excess energy is being fed into the grid. However, the sellback price is zero if energy sales exceed purchases. The converter costs 1000 USD per kilowatt. The economic inputs required by HOMER are the annual real interest rate and the lifetime of the project, which are 7% and 20 years, respectively. Results show that the proposed grid-connected PV system is technically viable. However, the grid-only system is still the most cost effective choice based on the net present cost (NPC) with the current price of 0.1 USD per kWh. The cheapest choice for the grid-connected PV system is when the PV and converter sizes are both 0.5 kW. The NPC of the PV system is 3,823 USD and its related cost of electricity (COE) is
0.209 USD/kWh. The renewable fraction of the system is 38%. Sensitivity analysis were also conducted with some scenarios such as reduction in PV prices, electricity price increases, and CO2 penalties.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

2. Energy and Power
• The terms “Energy” and “Power” are often used interchangeably.
• Technically though, while related they are NOT the same thing.
• Power is Energy integrated over time.
• Energy, is the ability to do work. Power is the rate at which energy is
supplied.
3. Units of Energy and Power
• We measure energy in terms of Watt-hours
• kWh kilowatt hours
• MWh megawatt hours
• GWh gigawatt hours
• We measure power in terms of Watts
• kW kilowatts
• MW megawatts
• GW gigawatts
4. Applying Energy and Power
• Energy can be stored, power cannot.
• As a data centre operator, we buy energy from the utility provider,
and we consume power through the critical and non-critical load.
5. The Data Center as a Factory
• Data centers have the energy profile of a
factory.
• In some countries, energy consumed by data
centres is as much as 2% of the total energy
consumed by that country.
• One could say that this is a reflection of the
digital economy.
Data Centers have the
energy profile of a factory
• They gobble energy
• They guzzle water
• They belch heat
6. Where does the Energy go in a Data Center?
• Here are the proportions of
power needed in a fairly typical
enterprise data center.
• In this diagram, 800kW of
power is drawn by the facility to
support the 500kW ICT load.
• To deliver power to the ICT load
requires that we use additional
power for all the systems in a
mission critical facility.
7. Measuring Energy Efficiency
• A coarse, globally harmonized metric is “Power Usage Effectiveness” or
PUE.
PUE= Total Facility Load/ IT Load
• PUE shows the proportion of power going into the facility that is actually
delivered to the IT load.
• The lower the PUE the better.
• We go to great lengths to ensure that we use energy as efficiently as possible.
8. Energy and the Business
• Energy is a fundamental cost to our business.
• There are existing and growing regulatory, compliance, and market
pressures to reduce data center energy consumption and carbon
footprint
• … and to demonstrate leadership in energy efficiency and environmental stewardship
in the eyes of the marketplace.
• The better we are at energy efficiency, the more cost effective our
data center operations will be.
