Description
(AWP Alliance News) - ABB launched Infinitus, a direct-current power portfolio aimed at accelerating a shift in AI data centers toward more efficient power architectures as rack power demand rises sharply. The move targets a large growth pool, with the International Energy Agency projecting global data center electricity demand will more than double by 2030, while ABB estimates 25%-40% of new capacity installed in 2030 could adopt DC distribution.
ABB cited research with Boston Consulting Group showing DC distribution can lift energy efficiency by more than 5%, which it estimates could free up 25 MW for IT loads at a 500 MW site and add more than USD 300 million in annual revenue potential. The portfolio also extends ABB's collaboration with NVIDIA to develop 800 VDC power architectures for gigawatt-scale AI facilities.
ABB expects the approach to expand beyond data centers into other energy-intensive sectors, widening its addressable market.
