Recently, several transformers in our neighborhood were replaced by our provider, Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, due to sporadic outages. I talked to several service personnel who spoke of concern over the capacity of our aging electric grid to handle the increased power requirements caused by significant increase by electric vehicle demand. I am not critical of increased EV use but if Maryland’s grid is at risk for future widespread ou…

Is Maryland’s power grid ready for EVs?

(Bloomberg) — Bosses at artificial intelligence companies aren’t worried about the end of the world or the start of government regulations. Their biggest worry is more mundane: finding enough electricity to keep servers running at data centers.

AI’s Electricity Demand Means Cool New Tech Is Coming to Boring Grids

Sinclair Broadcast Group

A number of grid operators and utilities in the United States are planning billions of U.S. dollars worth of investments in power transmission lines and networks as American electricity demand rises after two decades of stagnation. The advancements in AI and the surge in electricity demand for powering and cooling data centers have prompted the utilities sector to realign their goals and investment plans as they seek to keep up with the consumpt…

U.S. Grid Investments Jump as AI Leads Power Demand Surge

At present we’re in another wave of hysteria regarding data center energy demands, this time focused on concerns related to AI. It was all over Davos, for example. Many decarbonization folks, although not me, are deeply concerned about the electricity demands of the various large language models and generative AI ...

AI Electricity Demand Spike Already Drooping Due To Innovation - CleanTechnica

The enormous energy requirements of artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly becoming the focus of discussion. No wonder, as early as 2019, a US study warned that training a single neural network alone causes as much CO2 emissions as five (conventional) cars. Training the GPT-3 model alone (i.e. the version of ChatGPT that has been publicly available since the end of 2022) consumed as much electricity as a medium-sized nuclear power plant c…

Audi simulates global power grids to test EV charging

Whether with 110 or 230 volts or 50 or 60 hertz, at Audi in Ingolstadt, electric cars can now be charged as if they were in China, the United States, or in numerous other countries around the globe. At the new electric-charging test center at the Ingolstadt site, Technical Development is testing electric Audi models under the conditions that prevail in the various sales regions. The results are incorporated directly into the research and develop…
