China deploys world's first 800V DC power system for AI data center · 1 source tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Envision Energy has deployed what it claims is the world's first commercial 800-volt DC power system for a massive AI data center in Ulanqab, China. This new system, utilizing the Dubhe Controller and Dubhe Energy Foundation Model, aims to improve efficiency and reduce the physical footprint of power conversion by directly converting medium-voltage AC to 800V DC. The technology includes solid-state transformers, battery storage for load fluctuations, and AI-driven power management, with plans to scale the Galaxy AI data center to support up to one million AI accelerators and expand to a 5GW capacity through its Mission Gobi initiative by 2030. AI

IMPACT This advanced power system could enable more efficient and dense AI data center deployments, potentially lowering operational costs and environmental impact.
