5-MWh battery rapidly charges and discharges to stabilize data center power loads
SMRTR summary
Cummins is deploying a 5-MWh battery energy storage system for a large U.S. data center, its biggest such project yet. Unlike standard backup batteries, the system rapidly charges and discharges to smooth out sudden power spikes caused by AI workloads, helping stabilize the data center's grid connection. It can also serve as temporary power while permanent grid connections are built.
