Vertiv insights     What are microgrids?   High-performance computing (HPC) services, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), are driving a significant increase in global data consumption. The energy demand from data centers offering HPC services, combined with industrial growth and urban expansion, is surpassing the capacities of traditional utilities. Data centers, which currently consume 2 percent of global electricity, are expected to double this consumption by 2026. With rapid advancements in data centers, AI, and cryptocurrencies, global electricity usage is projected to rise from 460 TWh in 2022 to over 800 TWh. The primary challenge is to ensure an uninterrupted power supply while minimizing the carbon footprint amid this growth.
