Without proper management, these fluctuations can travel back through the interconnection point into the transmission system, straining grid equipment and constraining operators’ ability to manage other system-wide variables.
ON.energy’s AI UPS is a patented medium-voltage UPS positioned inline between power sources and AI data centres. By isolating the facility from the grid, the system maintains operation through voltage faults—protecting data centre equipment without disconnecting—while simultaneously preventing internal GPU load variations from impacting the grid.
The AI UPS has been validated against the Electric Reliability Council of Texas’ (ERCOT’s) Large Load Interconnection requirements, satisfying the grid stability and voltage ride-through standards that ERCOT has established as the baseline for responsible large-load interconnection in Texas, including compliance with Nodal Operating Guide Revision Requests (NOGRR) 282 and ERCOT’s Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) protocols.
The AI UPS stores sufficient energy to power an entire campus for extended periods, substantially reducing grid variability during peak hours. ON.Energy claims the outcome is a data centre that actively supports grid stability.
