The unprecedented growth of artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally transforming data center design. Industry initiatives centered around 800VDC power distribution have emerged as a promising pathway to reduce conversion stages, improve energy efficiency, lower copper usage, and support ultra-high-density computing environments. This presentation will examine the technical and economic drivers behind the transition toward Direct Current (DC) data centers, including increasing AI workloads, growing power demands, and evolving sustainability requirements. It will provide an overview of current industry developments, emerging technologies, and architectural approaches.
