As AI workloads continue to push data center power requirements to new levels, battery backup architectures are evolving rapidly. The industry is moving beyond traditional in-rack BBUs toward sidecar architectures that combine power supply and battery backup functions, while also exploring higher-voltage power distribution schemes to improve efficiency and scalability. In this session, we will discuss the key trends shaping next-generation BBU designs, compare emerging architectures and power conversion approaches, and examine the role of high-voltage solutions in future AI data centers. We will then explore Infineon's portfolio, including our Partial Power Converter (PPC) technology and new high-voltage BBU solutions, supported by system demonstrators.

 

Agenda:

  •  AI-driven trends in battery backup architectures
  •  Challenges, solutions and innovation in battery backup unit design
