Vision Group's New Safety Insights for AIDC UPS Lithium Batteries
In the fast-evolving realm of artificial intelligence, the AI Computing Center (AIDC) has emerged as an essential pillar for next-gen computing. As these advanced systems rely heavily on uninterrupted power supply (UPS) lithium batteries, ensuring their safety has become a pressing concern. Recently, Vision Group, a frontrunner in smart energy solutions, published a comprehensive white paper focused on the safety protocols required for these batteries when operating in high-density computing environments.
The Need for Specialized Safety Standards
Through this white paper, Vision Group dives deep into the unique challenges posed by AIDC setups. Unlike traditional data centers, AIDC facilities face a multitude of power demands, complete with abrupt load changes and power surges that put immense strain on battery systems. The white paper elucidates several factors contributing to increased safety risks:
1.
Voltage Sag: Within AIDC configurations, frequent fluctuations in voltage can compromise battery performance and safety.
2.
Thermal Accumulation: High dynamic loads can lead to increased temperature, heightening the risk of thermal disasters.
3.
System Degradation: Standard safety designs are proving inadequate under the high-stress conditions typical to AIDC workloads.
Addressing Existing Gaps
The white paper highlights the inadequacies in current safety standards for lithium batteries, which fail to effectively address scenarios involving both long-term float charging and high discharge rates seen in AIDC contexts. By pinpointing these gaps, Vision Group aims to foster a discussion on the necessity for revised safety protocols.
Proposed Safety Solutions
To combat these challenges, Vision Group has put forth a set of solutions tailored for high-density and dynamically fluctuating environments. The proposed safety architecture includes:
- - 4L Hierarchical Safety Design: This system is structured to provide comprehensive protection across four tiers, including Cell, Module, Cabinet, and System levels.
- - Multi-layer Fire Protection: Safety measures are implemented at each hierarchy level, ensuring issues are addressed proactively.
- - End-to-end Management: This encompasses the entire process from factory fabrication to operational deployment, simplifying installation and maintenance while ensuring safety is a priority.
Future Directions in Safety Technology
Looking ahead, Vision Group emphasizes the importance of emerging technologies like liquid cooling, AIOps, and solid-state batteries. The white paper calls for the establishment of definitive safety standards tailored for AIDC systems to mitigate the current risks.
Additionally, Vision Group aims for this initiative to drive the high-quality development of the computing power sector, emphasizing the importance of safety in the evolution of technology.
