AI data centre power solutions

In late July 2026, DG Matrix and Skeleton Technologies announced a strategic partnership to support the data‑centre industry's shift to 800 VDC power for AI workloads. The collaboration combines Skeleton’s high‑power, fast‑response energy‑storage systems with DG Matrix’s Interport™ solid‑state transformer platform, offering medium‑voltage SST skids, sidecar units for GPU pulse‑load management, and outdoor systems for grey‑space applications. The joint solution is designed to absorb extreme, repetitive GPU bursts, provide fault ride‑through, and deliver rapid backup power beyond the capabilities of conventional UPS and batteries.

The following day, Highstar introduced a full‑chain battery cell portfolio targeting the same AI data‑centre market. Its product line spans three power layers—grey‑space UPS/HVDC systems, white‑space backup units, and grid‑side storage—and includes high‑rate lithium‑iron‑phosphate cells, wide‑temperature‑range sodium‑ion cells, tabless cylindrical cells in LFP and high‑nickel NMC chemistries, and larger lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion cells for grid integration. The portfolio aims to meet AI data‑centre demands for fast response, reliable backup, temperature resilience, and longer lifecycles, simplifying integration for equipment suppliers and operators.

Together, these developments illustrate a rapid expansion of specialized power‑conversion and energy‑storage technologies designed to meet the unique electrical demands of AI‑intensive data centres.
