The passed exhibition computex 2007 designated important tendency in power units production : many powerful models attempt to pass the certification of 80% + EFFICIENCY . Effective electric power is important for electricity reduction and also from the global ecological side. The stations generating electric power push in the atmosphere a lot of dioxide carbon . Scientists many time talked about this serious problem in last several years, So computers producers purpose to decrease the energy consumption of computer systems .
Most computers lose up to 50% energy in the heat form . This energy is dissipated in most case in idle state . In servers such losses compose 30%. In regime idle , computers also consume sufficient amount of electric power. The producers orientation to the energy-saving technologies, was able to increase the EFFICIENCY in power-supply systems to level higher than 90%. Actually, the energy effectiveness of Google servers lies in the range from 90% to 93%.
In order to bring THE computer EFFICIENCY to 90%, it is now necessary to increase its cost by $20, in the case of server additional expenditures will be $30. Dell company proposes the modification of servers with increased energy effectiveness, Such server will be $100 more expensive, but these expenditures are compensated after a year operation.
The mass production of energy-saving components will allow to reduce the difference in cost between equipment. After beginning their propagation in USA, Europe and Japan, energy-saving components will gradually obtain popularity also on developing markets countries as China.
Initiative-group calculated, that if to 2010 the majority of computers and servers in the world will have power-supply systems EFFICIENCY not lower than 90%, then in this year it will be possible to save 71,6 billion kW electric power. This will allow to decrease the ejections of dioxide carbon to 54 mln. tons. .....
