Forget AI. Keeping cool is the bigger power sector problem: Maguire

Global electricity demand is expected to rise sharply due to the increasing need for data centers and air conditioning, particularly in developing regions. Data centers will predominantly surge in developed economies, expanding within established power networks. In contrast, air conditioning demand will escalate in emerging economies, posing significant challenges to already fragile energy systems. As a result, a mix of energy sources will be essential to meet this demand, potentially increasing reliance on both clean and fossil fuel energy sources.

Novel ideas to cool data centers: Liquid in pipes or a dunking bath

Nvidia is using liquid cooling technology in its next-generation GB200 server racks to cool its Blackwell chips. By circulating liquid through the hardware, it aims to reduce power consumption and increase computing power. Traditional data centers use air cooling, which is less efficient. The move comes as data centers are expected to consume 8% of US power demand by 2030, up from 3% currently. Liquid cooling is already a common feature in high-end gaming computers and could be the future for higher-end AI applications. However, there are challenges with leaks and component shortages.
