Workload composition smooths aggregate power demand while sustaining short-horizon ramps in AI data centers
Subir Majumder, Minlan Yu, Le Xie
Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving rapid growth in electricity demand, yet the grid-facing power dynamics of AI data centers remain poorly understood. Here we show that, in sh…
