The company calls the deployment the world’s first commercial use of such a system in a large‑scale AI data center and says it delivers power end‑to‑end from a 10‑kilovolt medium‑voltage AC input to the server rack.\n\nThe architecture combines solid‑state transformers, battery energy storage and a Dubhe Controller that runs Envision’s Dubhe Energy Foundation Model to coordinate power supply with computing demand in real time. Kevin Huang, senior vice president of Envision Energy, said the system shows how renewable supply, storage and grid power can be synchronized to meet the sharp load swings of AI accelerators. The Galaxy campus, which began operations in August 2026, is planned for 3 GW capacity and up to one million AI accelerators, with more than 80 % of power slated to come from direct renewable connections.\n\nEnvision positions the 800V DC architecture as a way to improve watt‑to‑bit efficiency, reduce equipment footprint and cabling, and lower infrastructure costs while supporting higher compute density in a fixed space.","keyPoints":["Envision’s 800V DC system powers live AI workloads at the Galaxy campus in Ulanqab, China.","The system integrates solid‑state transformers, battery storage and a Dubhe Controller using the Dubhe Energy Foundation Model.","Galaxy campus plans 3 GW capacity, up to one million AI accelerators, and over 80 % renewable power."],"whyItMatters":"The deployment demonstrates a scalable, high‑efficiency power architecture for AI supercomputing, potentially lowering costs and enabling denser compute clusters worldwide.","category":{"slug":"hardware","name":"Hardware & Compute","url":"https://digestai.news/category/hardware"},"entities":{"companies":["Envision"],"models":["Dubhe Energy Foundation Model"],"people":["Kevin Huang"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-11-02T08:02:04Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-02T08:02:04Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"Unite.AI","title":"Envision Deploys SST-Based 800V DC Power at Ulanqab AI Data Center","url":"https://unite.ai/envision-deploys-sst-based-800v-dc-power-at-ulanqab-ai-data-center","publishedAt":"2026-11-02T08:02:04Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Envision powers live AI workloads with 800V DC system at Ulanqab campus\", 2 November 2026, https://digestai.news/story/envision-powers-live-ai-workloads-with-800v-dc-system-at-ulanqab-campu","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Envision powers live AI workloads with 800V DC system at Ulanqab campus","datePublished":"2026-11-02T08:02:04Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/envision-powers-live-ai-workloads-with-800v-dc-system-at-ulanqab-campu"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
