A green UPS is an electrical device that supplies power to loads during main station power failures. It conserves energy and reduces carbon footprints. One system can save 2,352 kWh and 3,152 pounds of CO2, enough to power a compact fluorescent bulb for 20 years.
The adoption of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS) directive by the EU in 2003 has led to the development of eco-friendly power supply systems such as green uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Green UPS systems comply with the ROHS directive, which restricts the use of hazardous substances during their manufacturing. Unlike conventional power supply systems that cause harmonic pollution, green UPS systems reduce power waste caused by harmonic pollution. The increasing demand for continuous power supply in the IT sector and data centers has driven the growth of the green UPS market. Green UPS provides faster switching speed and security and protects IT equipment from data loss and damage caused by interrupted power supplies. Urbanization, rising standards of living, and increasing disposable income have also contributed to the growth of the Green UPS Market due to its low maintenance cost, low power consumption during charging, and reduced operational costs.
