Power consumption has always been a problem and in recent years it has become evident that we all have to do our part in minimizing our consumption. In Our group has analyzed our contribution we concentrate on power use field of interests and dissipation in data centres found a area where we feel more could be achieved. achieved - the huge data centers companies use for their data storage. We came to an conclusion that minimizing the power of the server farms themselves is already a problem with a large scientific community devoted to solving it. However there is a leak in this setup - the redundant cooling systems.
We have envisioned and then realised a system Eneraptor that surveys and controls power consumption of the air conditioning system and adapts its utilization according to real time changes in the surrounding world.
Our system combines a hardware module for taking measurements and triggering actions combined with an user interface that is conveniently accessible through a web browser through which authorized personnel can control all system parameters. We have thought about the need for modularization and upgradability of the system. A number of hardware modules can be operated within the system, which in turn can take control of several measuring sensors and device controllers thus ensuring the scalability of our system.
We hope our system can be used to minimize dissipated wasted energy in already power hungry data centers thus creating a greener future.
