Verrus

💡Can data centers help the grid? That’s the question explored in the latest episode of ⚡Volts by david roberts, as he sat down in conversation with our Head of Energy Jeff Bladen At Verrus, we’re building data centers that don’t just consume energy — they contribute to grid reliability. With fast load curtailment, on-site BESS, and grid-aware design, our platform is built to serve utilities, not strain them. Thank you, david roberts, for digging into this nuanced topic. The future of data centers can be grid-interactive — and it isn’t theoretical. It’s happening now! 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gAf5NVQi #GridInteractive #DataCenters #EnergyStorage #DemandFlexibility #ResourceAdequacy #Verrus #VoltsPodcast

Big thanks to Rich Miller for having our CEO, Nelson Abramson, and CTO, Anand Ramesh, on the Data Center Richness podcast! They had a fantastic conversation about the crucial role of capacity optimization and flexible data centers in today's increasingly constrained power grid - and Verrus' innovative approach to addressing these issues.

Last month at the #NREL Partner Forum, Verrus announced our “digital twin” test platform, built to emulate the impact of large data center loads on the grid and showcase Verrus’ flexible design capabilities. Today, we have released the Technical Report describing the details of the test platform along with performance results. Download the full report at https://lnkd.in/gnE29C63 During the Partner Forum Verrus received numerous call outs for our pioneering approach. Our CTO, Anand Ramesh, delivered an impactful message about Verrus' innovative approach to data center architecture and power flow management that make it possible to use battery energy storage in a truly dual-purpose way: providing robust backup for resilience and delivering real-time flexibility to the grid. Verrus’ Jeff Bladen and Ben Wheeler spoke on the final day of the forum on how Verrus will be bringing these ideas to life with coming real-world deployments at scale. Saurav Talukdar led a demonstration of Verrus’ control systems and grid-interactive flexibility using the test platform. Huge thanks again to National Renewable Energy Laboratory for hosting such a thoughtful and collaborative event and to MISO and Xcel Energy for their support in designing real world testing for Verrus’ flex capabilities. We’re excited to help lead a growing movement to rethink how digital infrastructure and power systems work together. #DataCenters #GridFlexibility #BatteryStorage #PowerFlow #EnergyResilience #NRELPartnerForum #DigitalInfrastructure #Innovation #CleanEnergy #DemandFlexibility #AIInfrastructure #Verrus 

⚡The future of grid-interactive data centers is here. At this week's National Renewable Energy Laboratory Partner Forum in Golden, Colorado, we unveiled our grid-interactive data center test platform and demonstrated how flexible data centers are a valuable resource for managing utility power infrastructure. The test platform simulates Verrus’ novel data center power flow management system with integrated long-duration battery energy storage, delivering faster grid response and greater resilience while meeting the strict uptime demands of modern workloads. Using our test platform, we demonstrated advanced, build-ready capabilities with NREL, including: • Demand response with up to 100% load curtailment within 10s of a utility signal  • Uninterrupted transition to battery-powered mode during simulated outages • Coordinated power management with zero impact to IT workload With these capabilities, Verrus enables grid operators to better manage today’s unprecedented demand for power through fast, dispatchable peak shaving, enhanced reliability against large load swings, and the ability to integrate more renewable energy.

Today was truly amazing at the IEEE PES Grid Edge Technologies Conference & Expo. A special thank you to the organizers for hosting an insightful session focusing on data centers, AI, and the grid! Grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an enriching event. What a great opportunity it was to learn so much from my fellow panelists Hanna Grene, Robert Bradish Greg Z., Angie McMillin, Robbie Wright and Puesh Kumar. #IEEE #GridEdgeTechnologies #DataCenters #AI #Grid

Aloha from #waikiki in #honolulu! Who else is joining at #ptc in #hawaii this week? Reach out to connect with myself and Maria Poyer to chat about Verrus! Bonus points and a free drink on me (if you’re here) for the first person to guess where I snapped this shot from! No cheating from those I’ve already told where I’m staying 🙃 #ptc2025 #verrus #datacenters #ai #realestate

While at the #dcdva conference back in October, I had the pleasure to sit down with Emma Brookes at the DatacenterDynamics studio and chat about how Verrus plans to deliver flexible, scalable #datacenter campuses. Take a listen to this brief one-shot interview 😁 https://lnkd.in/eEQdVuKd

If you're in the neighborhood, this should be a great panel to hear the latest on energy and Data Centers. Jeff Bladen will be joining the panel to weigh in and share how we're thinking about grid solutions here at Verrus.

Data centers drive massive energy demand, and AI is pushing it even higher. Learn how utilities are adapting to maintain grid stability while embracing these tech-driven changes. Join us for Data Centers, AI, and the Grid on 23 January 2025, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM. Learn more about Super Session 5 here: https://lnkd.in/g9ZRcgN8 #DataCenters #AIEnergy #GridStability #PESGridEdge
