AI workloads are fundamentally changing how data centers must generate, condition, and deliver power. Rapid fluctuations in GPU demand can stress electrical infrastructure, making it impractical for any single technology to address every requirement.

This session explores how fuel cells, batteries, UPS systems, and other complementary technologies can work together within a coordinated, layered power architecture. 

Attendees will learn how matching the right technologies to the right roles can protect critical equipment, strengthen resilience, reduce infrastructure risk, and support scalable AI growth from the IT rack back to the primary power source.
