power load factor (data center) (PLF)

The Power Load Factor(PLF) is a parameter that plays a role in the efficiency calculation of data center energy consumption.

The power load factor is the total energy consumed by switches, uninterruptible power supplies, power distribution units, etc. This is set in relation to the computing power. This is put in relation to the computing power. Adding the PLF value with the Cooling Load Factor (CLF), which is the value for the energy consumption for cooling and air conditioning, etc., results in the Power Usage Effectiveness( PUE).
