THE AI ANGLE
Causing rapid demand swings in data center power loads

Envision deployed an 800-volt direct-current power system at an AI data center in China. It converts 10-kilovolt alternating current directly into direct current using solid-state transformers. This design cuts copper cabling requirements, saves physical equipment space, and accommodates denser server racks.
