Worked example

Edge Compute 50–125 kW (Reference)

Compact 800V DC package for edge data / AI nodes.

Envelope: 50–125 kW (DC Edge)

Design-target edge node: dense DC distribution, storage for ride-through, metering, and open-architecture control — scaled to DC Edge capacity family.

Problem framing

Edge AI needs data-centre-class power quality and density at smaller scale and faster deployment than traditional electrical fit-out.

Architecture intent

Compact conversion to an 800V DC bus, modular distribution, and BESS for short-duration support.

Metering and EMS provide remote visibility — design-target stack, not a shipping SKU list.

What this is not

Not a hyperscale design. Not a UPS replacement warranty. Scale deliberately with the DC Edge family.
