Data centers are growing at an unprecedented scale, and the power systems behind them have to keep up.
EVS Executive Vice President Sohan Das joins the Sounds of Solar team to explore the engineering behind an always-on world. From rapidly rising energy demand and stringent reliability requirements to the infrastructure needed to support it, the conversation looks at what data center growth means for engineers, utilities, developers, and the grid.
Sohan discusses the role of solar, battery storage, substations, transmission, and emerging energy solutions in meeting demand, along with the challenges of siting, cooling, grid connection, and near-continuous uptime. The team also explores energy parks, behind-the-meter generation, and why engineers have an important role in shaping how this rapidly evolving industry grows.
Listen in for an engineer’s perspective on one of today’s biggest energy challenges, and what it will take to power an always-on world.
