No data center is perfectly efficient. Apply electrical energy to a bank of servers and you get inefficiencies.

Computers and lighting systems generate waste heat (a separate topic) and produce reflective distortions in the electrical grid that waste power. These distortions are quantified by a number between zero and one known as the “power factor”. Optimize the power factor of all electrical loads in your facility to save money. The following four links can serve to introduce you to this important topic:
From Save-Energy.org in England, a clever non-technical description of Power Factor.
Wikipedia Your standard comprehensive engineering essay.
Power Factor In The Digital Age Power factor as applied to servers.
Understanding Power Factor, Crest Factor, and Surge Factor Important information for specifying your UPS system.
