mFi - monitoring your AC power anywhere

This graph shows the mFi monitoring the power consumption of a small computer cabinet. This cabinet contains the “core communication technology” of a small business company:  the central server, netwoking switches, VoIP gateway, etc. The mimal consumption is always around 1.6 Amp making it at least some 270W of the non-stop energy demand from the 230V AC grid. The daily power comsumption is about 6.5 KWh, and per year it makes 2.372 MWh of energy.

In order to cut the costs down all unimportant devices were removed and the remaining devices were checked for energy optimisation. There seems to be no way to reduce the energy consumption of this computer cabinet.

Stay-tuned for details how the GridFree solution can cut the energy consumption down by just one simple “plug-in” to the AC socket.
