RECORDING THE POWER DISTRIBUTION HIERARCHY IN DATACENTERS

摘要

A power consuming device is configured to be electrically connected to a power connection point of a power distribution system of a datacenter. A first label is associated with the power connection point and includes power supply information that indicates the power connection point's place in the hierarchy of power supply equipment. A second label is associated with the power consuming device and includes identification information that identifies the power consuming device. A reader is configured to read the first label and to read the second label. An electrical connection management system is configured to receive the power supply information and the identification information obtained by the reader such that the electrical connection management system records the connection of the power consuming device to the power connection point and the power connection point's place in the hierarchy of power supply equipment.
