Data centre power architecture shifts as BBU batteries emerge as new battleground

Battery use is expanding beyond electric vehicles and energy storage systems to server racks as AI data centres push rack power density higher. Facility-level uninterruptible power supplies are seen as less able to handle rapid power swings, lifting demand for rack-level battery backup units, or BBUs, defined in open rack standards such as OCP Open Rack V3. Samsung SDI forecasts the global BBU market at $800 million this year, up more than 70 percent, while suppliers prepare new products and production.

Silicon anodes shake up EV battery market ahead of solid-state commercialisation

The electric vehicle battery industry is focusing first on commercialising silicon anode technology rather than solid-state batteries, which are still seen as years from broad rollout. Automakers and battery companies are expanding use of silicon anodes to improve driving range and charging speed. General Motors views wider use of silicon anodes as a key short- to medium-term solution. Battery firms and EV makers cite performance gains, while efforts continue to scale production and improve cost competitiveness.
