Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are tackling power grid instability as the rapid expansion of AI data centers increases the risk of sudden voltage drops that could disrupt critical infrastructure, including military installations.
The Distributed Energy Resource Management System, which Sandia enhanced with artificial intelligence, is designed to regulate grid voltage in real time.
Unlike conventional systems that rely on capacitor banks and line regulators, it coordinates smart inverters connected to solar panels and battery storage to balance the grid more dynamically.
