Our solutions for DC grids, originally developed for industrial automation, can be effectively adapted to modern data centers to enhance energy efficiency, sustainability, and reliability. By replacing traditional AC-based power distribution with a centralized DC power supply, data centers can significantly reduce energy losses associated with multiple AC/DC conversions. This is particularly beneficial since most IT equipment internally operates on DC power. The integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines, directly into the DC grid allows for seamless and efficient energy use, while bidirectional energy flow enables data centers to act as energy prosumers—drawing power when needed and feeding excess energy back into the grid or into on-site storage. Incorporating DC-coupled battery storage systems further enhances resilience by providing fast-response backup power and enabling peak shaving. Additionally, the modular and scalable nature of DC infrastructure supports the dynamic growth of data centers, including edge and micro data center deployments. Overall, transitioning to a DC-powered architecture aligns with the goals of reducing operational costs, improving Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), and supporting a greener, more sustainable digital infrastructure. We enable DC technology implementation through a comprehensive ecosystem of technologies designed for safe, efficient, and scalable direct current infrastructure. Their solutions support the entire energy flow—from generation and storage to distribution—by integrating renewable sources like solar and wind directly into the DC grid without the need for conversion to AC.
