2027 Event Agenda

The explosive growth of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and hyperscale infrastructure has made data centers one of the fastest-growing and most power-intensive load segments on the grid. Meeting the power demands of modern data centers, with their stringent uptime requirements, massive power draws, and preference for clean, reliable energy, is driving a fundamental rethinking of how power is sourced, conditioned, and delivered.

This half-day course provides a technically rigorous treatment of microgrid architectures purpose-built for data center applications. Drawing on real-world experience in both on-grid and off-grid data center designs, the course examines the lifecycle of a data center microgrid: from topology selection and inverter-based solutions, through control system design, protection considerations, and islanding strategies, to operational case studies.

Attendees will leave with actionable knowledge they can apply to data center power system design, utility interconnection planning, and the growing market of dedicated generation campuses.
