DCD: Nvidia-backed Emerald AI raises $24.5m to turn data centers into grid assets

The funding will support the development of its Emerald Conductor platform, which, the company claims, could enable data centers to obtain a grid connection significantly more quickly by managing energy consumption through AI.

The system effectively works as a mediator between the grid and data centers, orchestrating AI workloads in real-time, enabling data centers to dynamically adjust their energy consumption and support grid stability while assuring acceptable AI compute performance.
