Supercapacitors Smooth Out the Power Grid's AI Woes
2025-05-06
Massive AI model training strains power grids with massive, instantaneous energy demands—like millions of kettles switching on simultaneously. To address this, companies like Siemens Energy, Eaton, and Delta Electronics are deploying supercapacitors. These devices rapidly charge and discharge, smoothing out the energy fluctuations from AI training, reducing strain on the grid and supporting stable renewable energy supplies. While not a universal solution, supercapacitors are ideal for short-duration, high-energy applications like AI training.
