University of Nebraska-Lincoln Receives DOE Grant for Energy Efficient Data Center Technology
Jun Wang, assistant professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has secured a $1.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop LincolnPak, a high-voltage semiconductor power module aimed at improving energy efficiency in AI data centers. This technology seeks to streamline power conversion processes, reducing energy loss and construction costs while enhancing operational efficiency. Wang's project addresses the growing energy demands of data centers and aims for commercialization through potential startup initiatives.
Theia Market Signal Identification - AI Assisted
Jun Wang, assistant professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is developing LincolnPak, a high-voltage semiconductor power module, with a $1.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. This module aims to improve energy efficiency in AI data centers by converting electricity directly to an 800-volt DC distribution bus, reducing conversion stages and energy loss.
The projected impact includes a 50% reduction in the power-conversion footprint, lower construction costs, and improved operational efficiency. Wang's team plans to move towards commercialization, potentially launching a startup to manufacture the modules.
