AI Data Centers Could Integrate with Power Grids Through Flexible Demand, Study Suggests

AI Data Centers Could Integrate with Power Grids Through Flexible Demand, Study Suggests

A recent modeling study by an international research team, led by TU Wien, suggests that AI data centers in the U.S. could operate within existing grid capacities by reducing electricity consumption for as little as 35 hours per year. This approach challenges the traditional view of data centers as constant consumers and proposes they become flexible entities that adapt to grid conditions. The study highlights that many computing tasks, such as training large AI models, can be shifted to times when renewable energy is abundant. This flexibility would require special contracts guaranteeing a base capacity while allowing temporary reductions during grid strain. The research also points out the need for better data on data center electricity consumption to effectively plan grid infrastructure. Currently, the energy demand of AI data centers is dramatically increasing, with 39% of gas-fired power generation capacity under development in the U.S. by the end of 2025 intended to supply these facilities, raising c...

Pomona College Implements Hybrid Electric System in New CGE Building to Advance Sustainability Goals

Pomona College Implements Hybrid Electric System in New CGE Building to Advance Sustainability Goals

Pomona College is incorporating a hybrid electric application into its new Center for Global Engagement (CGE) building, set to open in 2028. This decision follows an engineering analysis and aims to balance sustainability with practical considerations. The hybrid system will feature all-electric residence hall kitchens, lounges, and apartments, equipped with electric stoves, water heaters, and electric mini-splits. However, larger central systems within the building will utilize gas-powered technology. This approach was adopted after the college determined that commercial all-electric equipment was not as advanced or reliable as residential options. The CGE building is designed to use 50% less energy than a typical structure of its size and is targeting LEED Gold Certification, a high-level sustainability designation from the U.S. Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. Other sustainability features include a 128-kW rooftop solar array, a high-reflectance roof, right-sized...

Hawaiian Electric to Retire Fossil Fuel Plants Despite EPA Easing Emissions Rules

Hawaiian Electric to Retire Fossil Fuel Plants Despite EPA Easing Emissions Rules

Hawaiian Electric has announced its continued commitment to retiring two major fossil fuel-fired power plants on Maui, the Mā‘alaea Generating Station and the Kahului Power Plant, despite recent actions by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA recently repealed most of the Biden administration’s greenhouse gas requirements for U.S. power plants and proposed rescinding all remaining greenhouse gas standards for the power sector. The agency justified these changes by stating that the previous rules were "effectively forcing plants to retire rather than setting standards they could actually meet." However, Hawaiian Electric stated that these EPA revisions will "have no effect" on its plans, reaffirming its commitment to Hawaii's clean energy goals, renewable energy integration, grid modernization, and emissions reduction objectives. The company has been working towards a state-mandated goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045 and had reached 37% renewable energy across the five islands it serves as ...
