DCF Trends Summit: ON.energy’s Asser Elsamahy

Battery-based AI UPS systems let data centers decouple volatile AI compute loads from grid-facing power demand, easing interconnection friction.

• Double-conversion architecture: ON.energy's AI UPS uses two inverter sets — one facing the grid (voltage/frequency ride-through, ramp rates), one facing the load — so it can serve both simultaneously, unlike single-inverter parallel BESS.
• Mature tech, new application: Battery energy storage has run at gigawatt scale globally for ~20 years but has only been applied to data centers for about 1.5 years.
