The Hitachi Energy Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is now NVIDIA DSX Ready certified, delivering the resilient, high-performance energy infrastructure needed to drive the rapid growth of AI factories.
The rise of Artificial Intelligence is redefining the pace of global industries, yet it imposes a critical challenge: the need for constant, stable electricity. As data centers and AI factories scale, energy supply has become the cornerstone of operational continuity.
To address this bottleneck, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are emerging as a vital technology, ensuring the resilience required for the most demanding workloads.
In this landscape, Hitachi Energy has taken a strategic step by having its BESS qualified as an NVIDIA DSX Ready BESS. Integrated into NVIDIA’s reference program, the solution is designed to meet the rigorous infrastructure requirements of AI factories.
This qualification simplifies the planning and deployment of more efficient, reliable, and scalable energy systems for the tech sector.
The strategic role of BESS in AI infrastructure
Facilities training advanced Artificial Intelligence models require energy infrastructure capable of reacting instantaneously to load fluctuations. Hitachi Energy’s BESS serves as a flexible platform that ensures power quality, optimizes operational costs, and stabilizes consumption in dynamic, high-compute environments.
By integrating power conversion, automation, and digital control technologies, the system allows data centers to operate within grid capacity, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources.
This alignment with the NVIDIA DSX Platform architecture is fundamental to standardizing the electrical design of these mission-critical facilities.
Marco Berardi, Head of Grid & Power Quality Solutions and Service at Hitachi Energy, stated:
“As AI factories continue to grow, customers need energy systems that can be deployed, integrated, and scaled quickly, all while maintaining reliability and resilience. As one of the first BESS solutions qualified under the NVIDIA DSX Ready program, this recognition reinforces Hitachi Energy’s position at the forefront of AI factory electrification, combining advanced technologies, power quality solutions, and systems expertise to support a complete electrical infrastructure for the next generation of AI applications.”
Connecting the future of energy innovation
Qualification within the NVIDIA DSX Ready program ensures that the Hitachi Energy solution is integrated with computing, cooling, and monitoring requirements. This interoperability allows data center operators to reduce operational risks and plan infrastructure growth with greater technical confidence.
The impact of this innovation goes beyond technical efficiency. As digitalization expands, energy sustainability is becoming an indispensable competitive advantage.
The collaboration between tech giants like Hitachi Energy and NVIDIA signals a clear trend: the growth of AI will be sustained by intelligent energy systems, ready to meet the challenges of a world hungry for reliable power solutions.
