Ted Bloch-Rubin recently spoke with The Wall Street Journal about how technologies, like advanced power flow control, are enabling the transition to a more flexible and controllable grid to meet growing demand in the US⚡ WSJ article by Scott Patterson ➡️https://hubs.ly/Q02BllvD0 #Transmission #GridModernization #APFC

🌟 Heimdall Power in the Wall Street Journal! ⚡️ "The Aging U.S. Power Grid Is About to Get a Jolt" wrote the Wall Street Journal the other day, sharing how the "Magic Balls" from Heimdall Power now are one of the measures U.S. utilities turn to, in order to boost their transmission capacity fast. 📈 After decades with predictable load-growth, U.S. electricity demand is suddenly skyrocketing due to both the AI-boom and a fast-increasing number of electric vehicles. 🔋 With the extensive timeline often associated with building new transmission infrastructure, Grid-Enhancing Technologies, like the ones from Heimdall Power, have become a key topic as utilities look to meet the increasing demand for electrons. 👇 Delve into the article through the link below to learn how our software and sensors are transforming the U.S. Power grid (WSJ subscribers only). https://lnkd.in/dMKJJyDE #heimdallpower #thepowerofknowing #USpowergrid #wallstreetjournal 

As the timeframe for permitting and constructing new transmission lines increases and opposition to the new lines grow, innovative solutions like Heimdall Power's Neuron sensor will be gamechangers. Anything that allows a utility to safely increase the utilization of their existing transmission lines will reduce the strain on the national grid and could eliminate the need for additional infrastructure. Imagine the benefits if the capacity of the lines bringing electricity into constrained areas like Northern Virginia and the Columbus region were increased by 40%. #digitalinfrastructure #electricalinfrastructure #innovativesolutions

The aging U.S. power grid is about to get a jolt, with an expected surge in demand for electricity alongside the proliferation of EVs and AI data centers.

America's growth, both in the past and looking forward, hinges on the ability to fuel that growth. This article highlights the critical need to enhance and modernize the supply and transmission grid to ensure we meet America's electrical power demands. The solutions outlined involve a mix of incentives, investments, and innovative approaches. Importantly, these solutions will also have political implications, necessitating bipartisan collaboration at both the State and Federal levels.

A major factor behind the skyrocketing demand for electricity is the rapid innovation in artificial intelligence, which is driving the construction of large warehouses of computing infrastructure that require exponentially more power than traditional data centers.

It was a privilege to contribute to The Washington Post piece on chasing power in the age of AI. With the Saturn V rocket demand for #generativeai (AI) tasking data center providers to get creative on where, how and by what cleaner sources of energy to secure the next 50 gigawatts of energy needed to support AI over the next 10 years, this topic is near and dear to consumers, government and the digital infrastructure sector. The next level of energy demand to power all things AI, is projected to reach 100 GW by 2035, a 50 GW increase in just 10 years. Put into perspective, it took nearly a quarter of a century for the data center sector to reach the first 50 GW and nearly 30 percent of that was created in the last 4 years. We need to find sustainable forms of energy today in order to drive tomorrow's industrial 4.0 revolution. We look forward to expanding this conversation with Buddy Rizer , Bill Kleyman 🇺🇦 Kleyman, João Marques Lima , Lewis Vaughan Vaughan, Ilissa Miller Miller, and our fellow industry leaders and colleagues attending Data Center World AFCOM in Washington April 15-18. #digitalinfrastructure #energy #datacenters #infrastructuredevelopment #AI #cloudinfrastructure #datacenterinfrastructure #greenergy #sustainableenergysolutions Layer 9 Data Centers

Great insight on the electrical consumption and how we need to move to more sustainability.
