ABB and NVIDIA Partner to Build Next‑Gen Gigawatt AI Data Centers

ABB and NVIDIA Partner to Build Next‑Gen Gigawatt AI Data Centers

ABB and NVIDIA are collaborating to accelerate gigawatt-scale, high-density AI data center power architectures.

Why 800V DC matters

AI workloads are driving unprecedented power demand. Data center capacity is forecast to grow from 80 GW in 2024 to ~220 GW by 2030 (Dell'Oro Group), with AI responsible for ~70% of that increase.

An 800‑volt DC architecture enables higher power density for megawatt racks, reduces conversion losses, and simplifies rack-level power distribution for AI servers.

ABB's role: solid-state power and advanced distribution

ABB brings expertise in medium-voltage UPS, solid-state power electronics, and DC distribution to support NVIDIA’s 800V DC plans.

Key ABB innovations include the HiPerGuard solid-state medium-voltage UPS and the SACE Infinitus solid-state breaker — both designed for fast, controllable DC power and improved energy efficiency.

Combining solid-state devices with scalable DC architectures can lower footprint, boost power density, and streamline cooling for AI servers.

Benefits and impact

For operators, benefits include higher energy efficiency, lower total cost of ownership, and simplified data center design tailored for AI workloads.

This collaboration targets future-ready, gigawatt-class data centers that support megawatt server racks and dense AI infrastructure.
