Data center energy challenges
With AI fueling one of the steepest increases in electricity demand, data centers must meet strict power quality requirements while managing grid disturbances, interconnection constraints, and rapid changes in power demand.
Load smoothing
Voltage ride-through (VRT) support
Data Center UPSs are designed to trip rapidly during faults to protect servers, but this creates a new risk: large, coordinated load loss to the utility system.
Emergency power supply
During grid disturbances or grid outages, when voltage ride-through (VRT) limits are surpassed, data center loads must be protected and kept operating.
Interconnection requirements
Grid operators are starting to require specific capabilities for connecting large loads and data centers to the grid.
Load shaving
Meeting data center energy needs usually requires system upgrades that can take years to approve, yet data centers need reliable power now.
DERs integration
Access to utility power is becoming limited, and data centers need low-carbon energy to achieve sustainability targets.
