Emerson Network Power: Excellent Power to

Guard "Green Expo"

Shanghai China, April 23, 2010 — "Low carbon, harmonious and sustainable city” has been the theme in the construction of Shanghai World Expo Park, and “green” has been a core element throughout the construction. Construction projects in Shanghai World Expo Park have applied many new energy-saving technologies and environmentally-friendly materials. From the garbage recycle devices at roadsides to the large-scale solar power system, and from the energy-efficient elevators to the green data center, one could feel the great efforts Shanghai has exerted to create a “green expo”.  

Then there arises the question on how IDC equipment rooms in the Shanghai World Expo Park put the concept of “green” into practice? To answer this question, the well-known supplier for power products and solutions, Emerson Network Power, obviously has the right to speak. More than 90% of power equipments in equipment rooms in the Shanghai World Expo Park was supplied by Emerson Network Power, and all equipment rooms constructed by China Telecom selected Emerson Network Power products. The company once again became the focus of the industry with its globally leading power technology and green concept.

"Green" Expo, "Green" Choice

For the first expo held by China and the largest expo in the history of world expo, Expo 2010 Shanghai China puts forward the theme of “Low carbon, harmonious and sustainable city” and takes green as the tenet for the construction of Shanghai World Expo Park and related activities. Based on this tenet, in the construction of power systems for IDC equipment rooms, related units impose special “green” requirements in addition to the reliability indexes.

Such “green” requirements are primarily embodied in several aspects: products/solutions highlight their energy-efficient features; enjoy outstanding advantages in electromagnetic radiation, noise reduction and harmonic suppression; and material utilization meets relevant standards. It is well-known that the power system is a key supporting equipment for power environment in equipment rooms and also a typical energy consumption unit. According to a research report of the Environmental Protection Agency, 47% of energy consumption in equipment rooms comes from power systems with air conditioning and power supply as the core. Electromagnetic radiation from industrial equipments not only harms people’s physical health but also affects operation security of other equipments; and harmonic reduces production, transmission and utilization efficiency of electric energy and causes overheating of electric installation, vibration and noises, increasing equipment malfunction risks and jeopardizing environment of equipment rooms. As a result, constructed green IDC equipment rooms should have excellent performance in the said aspects.

Products/solutions of Emerson Network Power perfectly satisfy these requirements beyond doubt. Products of Emerson Network Power meet two significant international standards: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive); in addition, products of Emerson Network Power strictly follow in their production GB9254 and CISPR22, two important standards for radiation limits and measurement methods. In terms of harmonic suppression, Emerson Network Power carries out product upgrading, updating and active power filtering improvement for networked power supply systems with large harmonic and low efficiency on the one hand and engages in research and development of products with low harmonics and high efficiency on the other hand.

The high energy efficiency of Emerson Network Power products win universal praises and their utilization in equipment rooms in Shanghai World Expo Park is spoken highly of by construction units. For example, the Liebert series of air conditioning products adopted the advanced Copeland high efficiency scroll compressor, with a large herringbone type evaporator and intelligent group control technology, greatly improving operation efficiency of the products. The Liebert Hipulse U series of UPS products has increased its output power factor to 0.9 and its load capacity by over 10% compared with the traditional UPS, and adopted various input current harmonic suppression technologies to effectively reduce harmonic pollution and improve efficiency of the system. These equipments bring Expo 2010 Shanghai China with continuous “green” drive.

Innovation and Cooperation to Push Forward the Great "Green" Tide

Extensive utilization of power products of Emerson Network Power in Shanghai World Expo Park gives high recognition to Emerson Network Power and helps promote the company’s thrust on environmental protection. As a leading network power equipment manufacturer, Emerson Network Power has always paid great attention to implementation of energy conservation and emission reduction strategies in the industry. Always holding to the business philosophy of “business-critical continuity”, the company offers users with efficient, reliable, energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly power products and solutions by constantly bringing forth new ideas and developing green network energy technologies. Products developed in this process include efficient dormancy energy-efficient electric power source, high efficiency UPS, energy conservation air conditioning, wind energy products, solar energy products, natural heat dissipation, etc., while solutions include complete energy conservation plans for data equipment rooms, intelligent and comprehensive energy conservation plans for base stations, local high density heat dissipation solutions, etc. Additionally, the company is able to bank on its rich experience and innovative technologies to evaluate and analyze actual energy consumption situations and problems in equipment rooms of clients according to their requirements and thus provide them with individualistic solutions.

In addition to product research and development and innovation, Emerson Network Power also dedicates itself to the promotion and application of green network energy technologies. As a major supplier for corollary equipments in the telecommunications industry, the company actively carries out exchanges and cooperation with major operators, integrators and related departments in the industry to collaborate on projects related to energy conservation, formulation of industrial standards and regulations and promotion of technical exchanges and sharing. In the famous “Green Action Program” of China Mobile, Emerson Network Power was the earliest proponent and participant. The program aimed to strengthen industrial chain collaboration, update existing equipments and design and research and develop new products in order to enhance energy efficiency. This covered switching power supply, UPS, power environment monitoring, refrigeration and other fields of technology of the company. At present, energy-efficient technologies and products of the company are widely used in China Mobile.

Furthermore, Emerson Network Power also actively participates in international cooperation on energy conservation and environmental protection and sets an example for other enterprises. To date, the company has been a member of many internationally-known energy conservation and environmental protection organizations, including Energy Star, Green Grid, Association for the Scientific and Technological Information Industry, and Silicon Valley Leading Group, dedicated to implementation of green energy conservation standards or plans. Meanwhile, the company also takes initiative to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with related industries and enterprises. For example, the company has established solid partnership with Dell, HP, IBM and SUN, and jointly launched green energy conservation plans, bringing users with technologies and products with higher green value and promoting energy conservation and environmental protection in the industry.
