NREL's Chip to Grid Approach – Solving the AI and Data Center Computing Revolution's Power Needs (Text Version)

This is the text version of the video NREL's Chip to Grid Approach – Solving the AI and Data Center Computing Revolution's Power Needs.

>> Narrator: The energy demands of the artificial intelligence computing revolution are making headlines. Specialized data centers are what make AI innovation possible, but their energy consumption is growing exponentially. Yet the companies leading this revolution, the energy providers fueling them, and the U.S. economy simply cannot sustain a "business-as-usual" approach with only incremental improvements. To meet this challenge head-on, a holistic end-to-end solution is needed—NREL’s Chip to Grid approach is the answer. While many experts and organizations focus on optimizing individual components of this chip-to-grid environment, true breakthroughs happen when we consider the entire system and how it all connects.

NREL is pioneering the chip-to-grid paradigm to reimagine the data center of the future. Chip-to-grid is an approach that enables faster, more powerful, and more affordable solutions. It delivers unprecedented high-impact benefits to the U.S. economy; it safeguards our national security and our global economic competitiveness and ensures that new and existing jobs in energy production, advanced manufacturing, and innovation start in the U.S. and stay in the U.S.

Innovative concepts like district heating in colder regions, water desalination in arid areas, and co-beneficial agricultural applications are assessed for systemwide impacts. NREL's research ensures that every aspect of this ecosystem is developed for an economically viable future. With world-class expertise in data center optimization, hybrid energy technologies, and energy systems integration, NREL offers an unmatched, holistic and competitive perspective to tackle these challenges.
