Industry Pain Points
- Zero tolerance for power interruption, with financial and contractual penalties for downtime
- Rising energy costs as compute density and cooling loads increase
- Growing requirement for verified renewable energy sourcing from hyperscale and enterprise tenants
- Diesel generator dependency that conflicts with sustainability commitments
The ATC GridWorks Approach
ATC GridWorks designs battery storage as a complementary layer to existing UPS and generator infrastructure - providing bridging power, peak-shaving, and renewable energy time-shifting - integrated through the AI EMS and monitored 24/7.
Recommended Technologies
Utility-scale or industrial BESS with liquid cooling for high-density, high-utilization operation; microgrid controllers for automated islanding; AI EMS for continuous load forecasting and dispatch.
FAQs
Typically no - BESS is deployed as a complementary layer for longer-duration bridging power, peak-demand reduction, and renewable integration, working alongside (not replacing) existing UPS infrastructure designed for sub-second ride-through.
Battery storage allows solar generation to be time-shifted to match data center load patterns around the clock, increasing the effective percentage of renewable energy consumed rather than exported or curtailed.
