Will Supercapacitors Come to AI's Rescue?

Cars That Think

Because training is orchestrated simultaneously among many thousands of GPUs in massive data centers, and with each new generation of GPU consuming an ever-increasing amount of power, each step of the computation corresponds to a massive energy spike. This makes the grid see a consistent load, but it also wastes energy doing unnecessary work.

First Supercritical CO2 Circuit Breaker Debuts

Cars That Think

Such equipment is scattered widely throughout power grids as a way to stop the flow of electrical current in an emergency. Hundreds of thousands of circuit breakers dot power grids globally, and nearly all of the high voltage ones are insulated with SF 6. Thats where they are making the biggest contribution, in my eyes.

Government to offer £3,750 to EV buyers

EV Info

The spokesperson said bands (which could expand beyond two) are determined by how much CO2 is emitted in an EV’s production, assessing the energy used in vehicle assembly as well as battery manufacturing. Scores are relative to an index based on the carbon intensity of different [power] grids.”

We’re Charging Our Cars Wrong

Cars That Think

The function of the port is to convert AC power from the grid into DC, which is then applied to the battery. Within this circuit, a high-frequency transformer provides physical separation between grid power and the electric vehicles battery. The key safety feature of existing EV chargers is an isolation link [in teal].
