DYNAMIC POWER ORCHESTRATOR · AI DATA CENTERS

Software-defined power for the
AI rack.

DPO is the rack-level control plane that anticipates AI power transients and orchestrates BBU + PSU output to meet grid compliance — without compromising GPU throughput.

THE PROBLEM

Grid compliance just became a continuous control problem.

AI training and inference loads create power transients on millisecond time scales. Grid operators have responded with mandatory ride-through and recovery requirements: ERCOT NOGRR 282 from 2028/01, with comparable rules converging across seven other DC-heavy jurisdictions and a federal NERC layer.

In July 2024, six large data centers in Texas tripped offline simultaneously during a grid disturbance — exposing the gap between current ORv3 rack power design and grid interconnection requirements. The window for rack-level orchestration is the next 24 months.

WHAT WE BUILD

Two coordinated layers. One closed loop.

Software-defined control plane

DPO Engine

Forecasts GPU load ahead of the transient. Computes setpoints for the rack power shelf. Runs as a software process alongside the workload scheduler.

Interfaces: Redfish · PMBus · OCP ORv3 PMI

Rack-mounted hardware module

DPO Gateway

Pin-compatible replacement for the PMI module. Coordinates BBU discharge and PSU output shaping in real time. Designed against ORv3 PMI Specification 1.0.

Form factor: OCP ORv3 PMI-compatible · Cert target: UL + OCP 2027 Q4

COMPLIANCE

We track the regulatory window so you don't have to.

DPO is designed against the eight jurisdictions enforcing voltage ride-through and post-fault active power recovery for large loads between 2026 and 2028.

ARCHITECTURE

Predict, orchestrate, comply.

DPO sits between the data center EMS and the ORv3 rack — predicting the transient, computing the setpoint, and enforcing the envelope at the shelf. Inline with ORv3 PMI specification, brand-neutral when contributed to the OCP open spec.
