Reduce your products global footprint.

C02 Reduction



Peritus Power is part of the Climate Savers Initiative. Please visit their site for more details. Our aim is to reduce the amount of global C02 emissions from the operation of computers by 54 million tons per year. This is the C02 emission equivalent of taking 11 million cars off of the road!We provide an assessment service to help you reduce your C02 global footprint and provide an implementation plan. This is guaranteed to reduce your utility bills. We can show you how much power you can save, and detail the C02 reduction and cost rate.To help companies get started with power management implementation, the CSCI web site includes instructions on how to implement recommended power management settings on networks and individual PC's.

Individual PC power management recommendations can be found at http://www.climatesaverscomputing.org/learn/saving-energy-at-homeNetwork power management recommendations and case studies can be found at http://www.climatesaverscomputing.org/learn/information-and-resources/

Energy Saving Design.



The media is full of energy saving initiatives affecting both consumers and businesses alike. Climate change, C02 reduction, greenhouse gasses, green power, high efficiency design and save the planet are all terms we have become accustomed to recently. Many initiatives are now underway in what is clearly a problem we cannot afford to ignore.

Peritus Power has the experience to offer advice in this field, working with the Climate Savers organization, EPRI, EPA, Green Grid and other key contributors in this field. For nearly 3 years, efficiency and sensor accuracy have dominated the direction in the electronics industry, targeting servers, workstations and data storage. The aim, to use less power in a data centre. Whilst this has been effective, there is still more to do, as a team, we have driven the high efficiency message across the server and data centre industry, with success.
Focus will shift to motherboard power and power distribution systems in racks, before moving on to influence other areas of power in the electronics industry. All electronic goods will need a compliance logo before they can be shipped in the future, that time may not be far away.
Peritus Power can help reduce power consumption in your designs. Costs of higher efficiency designs have been found to remain fairly static over lower efficiency designs to a point, meaning there is no real reason not to do this now. It is the best marketing tool for your products today, providing a means to an end to gain a market advantage over your competition, and you get to play your part in saving the planet.
Military power always demanded the highest efficiency possible, the luxury of fans does not exist in much of the equipment, in some products it was banned, being seen as an unreliable electromechanical device, the same category as the common relay. The last 3 years have seen a major push into this arena, across many industries.
A carbon footprint reduction service is offered for new or sustaining products,
Peritus Power is well versed in designing and the architecture of high efficiency power trains through equipment and systems, including actual design of the converters. Starting with the military industry, which has been at the forefront of high efficiency for a while, and later in the server industry.

The Problems Attaining High Efficiency.



Higher efficiency sounds like an easy task. It is littered with problems for the unwary. Taking a legacy design and modifying it is not always possible, new designs quite often require starting from scratch. Higher efficiency means faster switching edges, this leads to precaution needing to be taken to ensure EMI radiated is not a problem. More noise in the PSU can cause I2C communication issues, and of course, power sapping snubbing is not an option. Cost is an issue if you are not careful throughout the entire design.

How Can Peritus Power Help?



Any product developed with power saving, or green credentials will be viewed in a more positive light. Any product that uses minimal power from the wall will appease consumers, no matter what the industry. Peritus Power has an excellent understanding of the achievable versus the cost, where to go to find the highest efficient parts at the best cost. More importantly we understand commercially, when the point comes, that any further push in efficiency becomes cost prohibitive.

Peritus Power has amassed what is probably the best data collection for motherboard converters and standard DC DC POL's, and understand the politics that will surround a motherboard efficiency drive or any efficiency drive. This data set is invaluable in understanding how DC DC converters line up in terms of efficiency versus performance, the converter could have been fitted to any electronic piece of equipment, the fact it was a motherboard is less important.
Peritus Power can define and design your power architecture for any product, driving to the best performance versus cost. You should at least understand the cost difference between the two, and the cost savings to your end user in utility bills.
