Learn about the Diablo 400 Project, a collaborative HVDC industry standardization effort presented by power engineers from Google, Meta, and Microsoft at this 25-minute conference talk. Discover how these major tech companies are working together to establish OCP standards for +/-400Vdc disaggregated power racks, including integration methods for attaching sidecars to existing +800Vdc IT racks. Explore the project's goal to drive economies of scale and supply chain commonality by leveraging mainstream EV HVDC power conversion and battery infrastructure. Understand the turn-key approach for purchasing sidecars as complete units, with focus on standardizing rack input and output interfaces, certification requirements, and testing protocols. Examine how this specification enables high-density HVDC IT rack deployment in both legacy and new data centers while maintaining interchangeability at the rack level and allowing for user-specific customizations to meet diverse operational needs.
