Comparison of harmonics between Panama power supply and traditional AC UPS power supply system

Abstract

With the vigorous development of the digital age, the development momentum of data center construction is also getting stronger and stronger. The data center power supply system requires highly reliable power supply to maintain the normal operation of IT equipment, so the power supply technology of the data center equipment room is diversified. The most commonly used power supply scheme in traditional data centers is AC UPS, and the wide-scale application of AC UPS brings serious harmonic pollution to the power grid. As a new type of power supply technology, Panama power supply was born, which is a very important breakthrough for data center power supply technology. This paper studies the AC UPS and Panamanian power supply technology, builds the Panamanian power supply and the AC UPS power supply through PSCAD/EMTDC simulation software, and observes the harmonics of the two power supply technologies for analysis and comparison.
