Description
U.S. DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) recently launched the Next Generation Data Centers Institute (NGDCI), consolidating its capabilities across energy science, high-performance computing, cybersecurity, and grid research with a mandate to develop technologies that could make AI data centers more efficient, resilient, and grid-supportive. The launch supports the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission by coupling the upcoming computing resources with energy systems that can sustain them. NGDCI has identified six research priority areas: thermal management, power system architecture, grid integration, operations and load management, security, and integrated systems modeling.
