Data Center Power Infrastructure

AI and high-performance computing are changing how data centers are powered. Higher rack densities, faster load changes, and stricter grid requirements are pushing traditional AC-based architectures to their limits. A new generation of infrastructure is emerging around 800 VDC distribution, fewer conversion stages, and tighter integration between grid, storage, and compute.

AI data center building

Architecture

By moving AC/DC conversion upstream and integrating storage and other DC sources in a controlled way, data center builders can create a cleaner and more scalable 800 VDC power architecture.

Example 800 VDC architecture scheme

Containerized iKraft system

iKraft

Facility-level AC/DC conversion for the 800 VDC backbone.

Converts utility or facility AC into stable DC and creates the electrical backbone for high-density data center infrastructure.

  • Stable DC at facility level
  • Controlled interaction with the grid
  • Supports a cleaner 800 VDC architecture

DCKraft DC DC converter

DCKraft

Isolated DC/DC integration inside the 800 VDC grid.

Connects batteries and other critical DC nodes to the DC link with isolation, controlled power transfer, and system protection.

  • Galvanic isolation between DC nodes
  • Stable integration of storage
  • Supports protected DC coupling

Why this architecture works

Moving AC/DC conversion upstream reduces downstream conversion stages and creates a cleaner electrical foundation for high-density compute. Isolated DC/DC integration then adds control and protection where batteries and other critical DC nodes meet the DC link.

Built for long-term operation

Power infrastructure for AI data centers must deliver more than capacity. It must provide stable DC power, controlled grid interaction, and predictable behavior over long operating lifecycles. Modular, serviceable systems make future expansion easier without redesigning the electrical foundation.
