Minimizing Data Center Uninterruptable Power Supply Overload by Server Power Capping

Recent analyses show an increase in data center (DC) service downtime due to the increase in power supply outages caused by overloaded uninterruptable power supplies (UPSs). As a solution to the UPS overload problem, this paper presents developed a power distributor manager (PDM) that caps the power consumption of the DC by enforcing a power restriction on the running servers based on a UPS power minimization cost function. The PDM proposed controls the power consumption per UPS in a DC by means of processor time-sharing and dynamic frequency scaling, which eliminates UPS overloading problems and thus reduces server outages.
