Building trust into advanced data center power architectures
The rapid expansion of data centers, largely driven by artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, has made power management a critical challenge. Grid constraints are pushing operators to rethink their power strategies and invest in on-site power generation via fuel cells, microgrids and small modular reactors (SMRs).
Data centers are shifting to high-voltage direct current (HVDC) architecture to support high-density AI racks, deliver more efficient power over longer distances, and minimize energy loss and heat generation.
With these changes in data center power architectures come unique safety and interoperability risks, necessitating testing and certification to appropriate standards. UL Solutions helps data center stakeholders navigate surging energy demands with comprehensive services for energy infrastructure systems and components. Our testing, inspection, certification, field evaluation, verification and advisory services can help you demonstrate compliance and build trust.
