The data center energy storage landscape is rapidly evolving, shaped by shifting priorities, emerging technologies, and growing AI demands. Industry professionals cite power availability, cybersecurity and data privacy, sustainability, cooling, and AI as the biggest challenges of the next decade.
HPC environments spiked densities up to 30 kW per rack. AI has become a common topic at any data center event today, raising questions about how it can be supported efficiently and sustainably. Some designs are emerging with 100+ kW per rack density requirements.
Data center energy storage help in providing optimal reliability, high power performance, and scalability to datacenter facilities, helping them to match the increasing power requirements. It also offers advanced power monitoring and metering for maximum efficiency and control.
The US grid has not been able to keep pace with this demand, and new data center projects will struggle to get timely access to power. Data center leaders expect approximately 30% of all data center sites to use some onsite power as a primary energy source supplemental to the grid by 2030, 2.3 times more than just seven months prior.
Advances in gen AI will create even more data, increasing the need for data storage centers to avoid issues that come with managing large quantities of data. Investments in T&D
