Problem
The increasing demand for AI processing power strains existing data center power infrastructure, leading to significant energy inefficiency and high operational costs. GPU clusters shift between power states in milliseconds, creating rapid load swings and peaks that current power systems cannot handle efficiently, often forcing operators to use artificial compute loads that waste energy and generate excess heat.
Solution
Skeleton Technologies provides advanced energy storage solutions utilizing proprietary Curved Graphene technology to address the power demands of AI data centers. The company's GrapheneGPU system smooths out the fluctuating power consumption of GPUs, enabling them to operate continuously by storing energy during idle periods and releasing it during peak demand, eliminating the need for energy-wasting artificial loads. Skeleton offers full power systems from the IT rack to the electrical grid, including CBU and BBU sidecars, double-conversion UPS, and power support for Solid-State Transformers. The systems are engineered from the cell level to complete power systems, combining supercapacitors with power electronics and system-level controls to manage rapidly changing power demands of AI clusters. By optimizing power delivery, Skeleton's solutions reduce both capital expenditure on infrastructure upgrades and operational costs related to energy consumption and cooling.
