Dr. Wilson will discuss projections of power use by U.S. data centers, requests for data center connections, and potential implications for the grid. Dr. Wilson will also discuss the possibilities for more flexible data center operation to accelerate AI development while minimizing costs, lowering carbon emissions, and enhancing system reliability.
Howard Berry, a data center real estate specialist, will discuss site selection considerations, identify current data center hotspots, and explore opportunities for power companies to capitalize on the data center boom. Additionally, he’ll note how macroeconomic trends are affecting the sector, touch on market dynamics he’s observed, and explain how the industry is responding to power, density, and workload location challenges.
Joe Hayden will explain how AI solutions are optimizing energy consumption for data centers. He will touch on the challenges posed by growing energy demand from data centers, including congestion, grid upgrade requirements, and potential reliability risks. Demand side response services, energy forecasting methods, and predictive analytical tools can help to manage energy intensive assets and automatically adjusts power consumption in real-time to balance the grid, without impacting operations, while delivering carbon reductions at the same time.
