Bridging Electrical & Mechanical Strategies to Control Rapid AI Load Swings in Modern Data Centers
1:40 pm
- Co-designing generator, UPS and cooling system responses to rapid AI-driven load changes so electrical and mechanical systems operate in sync rather than in silos
- Creating unified control sequences that coordinate chiller ramp-up times, airflow adjustments and power availability to prevent instability during large step-load events
- Aligning redundancy, load-sharing and operational logic across disciplines so both electrical and mechanical infrastructure can flex dynamically without tripping, overheating or wasting capacity
