网格软件初创公司Emerald AI与Google、Nvidia和Anthropic等科技巨头及多家电力公司联合成立AI能源管理联盟（AEMA），致力于通过需求响应技术来优化数据中心与电力系统的协调运作。1该技术的核心思路是在数据中心内部暂停非关键任务并灵活转移计算负载，使这一能力成为未来数据中心规划的重要考量因素。1根据高盛去年的研究，仅需将电网最大使用率在几个小时内限制在90%，就可释放76吉瓦的容量。1
Emerald AI的软件平台直接连接电力公司与数据中心，使后者能够快速响应电网调度请求。1这项技术预计可使额外的100吉瓦数据中心容量接入现有电网。1不过，公司首席科学家Ayse Coskun指出，该方案可以减缓但无法完全消除对新增发电源的需求。1
Emerald AI最近完成了1.5亿美元的A轮融资，由Energize Capital和DCVC领投。1
Emerald AI, a grid software startup, has partnered with major technology companies including Google, Nvidia, and Anthropic, along with multiple power utilities, to establish the AI Energy Management Alliance (AEMA) 1. The alliance aims to leverage demand response technology to coordinate data center operations with electrical grid management, making the ability to pause non-critical tasks and shift computational loads a central component of data center development 1.
The demand response approach is designed to enable an additional 100 gigawatts of data center capacity to connect to the power grid 1. According to research published by Goldman Sachs last year, limiting peak grid utilization to 90 percent for several hours could free up 76 gigawatts of capacity 1. Emerald AI's software directly connects power companies and data centers, allowing facilities to respond quickly to grid requests 1. Ayse Coskun, the company's chief scientist, stated that while the technology can slow the pace of new power generation requirements, it cannot eliminate that need entirely 1.
The startup has recently completed a Series A funding round of $150 million, led by Energize Capital and DCVC 1.
