Due to the proportional relationship between computing power and energy consumption, data centers are undoubtedly "big energy consumers". According to statistics from the US Department of Energy, data centers account for 2% of the country's electricity consumption. Technically, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 40% through innovative power supply systems. For example, using APS's silicon carbide MOSFET and diodes in high-voltage DC power supply systems can simplify the power supply architecture, improve efficiency, and reduce the number of heat sinks.
The growth of computer server farms and internet traffic around the world has caused this infrastructure to consume global energy production at an accelerating rate. It is now estimated that 500,000 data centers and 32 million individual servers around the world consume 1.5% of the world's electricity - about 300 TWh per year.
