Abstract
Monitoring energy consumption of servers is a major need in data centers for energy management. Presently, most data centers use smart Power Distribution Unit (PDU) to supply energy to their servers and at the same time to monitor the servers' energy consumption. However, these PDUs are costly since these are not manufactured in the Philippines and have to be procured overseas. Hence, this project developed a low-cost smart PDU built from cheap and locally available parts. The PDU was created using gizDuinoX development board, ENC28J60 Ethernet shield, CS5464 power and temperature measuring IC, and voltage and current sensors. Moreover, the PDU was integrated into a web-based application for monitoring energy consumption. A wired Ethernet was used for the network communication between the PDU hardware and the server computer. The smart PDU developed in this project has an accuracy error of approximately +/-1.5% in its power and energy measurements, which is within the benchmark set by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
监控服务器的能耗是数据中心能源管理的主要需求。目前,大多数数据中心采用智能PDU (Power Distribution Unit)为服务器供电,同时监控服务器的能耗情况。然而,这些pdu价格昂贵,因为它们不是在菲律宾制造的,必须在海外采购。因此,本项目开发了一种低成本的智能PDU,由廉价和当地可用的部件组成。该PDU使用gizDuinoX开发板、ENC28J60以太网屏蔽、CS5464功率和温度测量IC以及电压和电流传感器创建。此外,PDU被集成到一个基于网络的应用程序中,用于监测能源消耗。有线以太网用于PDU硬件和服务器计算机之间的网络通信。本项目开发的智能PDU在功率和能量测量中的精度误差约为+/-1.5%,在能源监管委员会(ERC)设定的基准范围内。
