AI workloads are placing unprecedented demands on data center power infrastructure, with rack-level power rapidly moving from tens of kilowatts toward 600kW, 1MW and beyond. As power density increases and loads become increasingly dynamic, traditional AC architectures face new challenges around efficiency, resilience, fault management and energy storage.

This SPOC Energy whitepaper examines the practical considerations behind an 800 VDC architecture for AI infrastructure, exploring how DC distribution, energy storage and power conversion can work together to support higher-density workloads.
