Energy Advantage Architecture (EAA)

The rising demand for highly available, reliable and efficient power

is a continuous challenge for data centre operators. Higher energy

efficiency helps to address increasing environmental, regulatory

and economic pressures.

Eaton has developed innovative and proprietary technologies that

improve system efficiency without compromising on reliability

under the Energy Advantage Architecture (EAA) umbrella.

Typical field operations are usually within low load range, but UPSs

do not operate at optimal efficiency when used for lighter loads.

In some multi-UPS parallel systems used with lighter loads, the

system maximises the load percentage of the UPSs by putting the

UPSs that are not needed to power the load into idle mode. This

results in partial energy savings and is limited to multi-UPS sys-

tems, with no efficiency improvements for single-UPS systems.

Variable Module Management System (VMMS) technology

maximises efficiencies at lighter loads without compromising

reliability.
