Data centers are scaling faster than the grid can follow. Fractal EMS gives operators and EPCs one hardware-agnostic platform — BMS, EMS/PPC/MPC, and SCADA — to combine solar, wind, batteries, fuel cells, and gas engines into reliable, 24/7, low-carbon power. With 17+ GWh in operation across 10 countries, we help you mix any equipment brand, on any project, under a single unified controls layer.
Energize ahead of the grid
Interconnection queues now stretch up to 53 months. Fractal EMS orchestrates on-site hybrid generation and storage so your facility comes online now — with black-start capability and multi-hour backup — instead of waiting years for grid upgrades.
Tame volatile AI load swings
A single AI training run can equal 1,000 homes' annual power, ramping in ways the grid was never built for. Fractal EMS applies 40 ms-level controls that dispatch storage and generation instantly — smoothing ramps, protecting equipment, and holding stability.
The data center power problem
GPU ramping & dynamic load instability
AI training draws power like 1,000 homes in rapid, repeating cycles — millisecond spikes and drops that engine generators answer too slowly, causing voltage sags. Smoothing them needs millisecond-level controls and storage.
Interconnection delays & firm capacity
Grid connections take up to 53 months, with steep fees and upgrades, as AI demand outpaces transmission. Operators need immediate, firm on-site capacity — presenting the site to the utility as a flexible, predictable load.
Renewable integration & carbon pressure
Data centers may emit 275M tons of CO₂ a year by 2030. Reaching 50–98% renewable penetration means adding intermittent solar and wind — which requires large energy buffering to hold 24/7 reliable base power.
Transitioning beyond the traditional UPS
Operators are replacing isolated UPS and diesel with high-voltage DC and facility-scale BESS. A modern BESS reacts in under 50 ms — a high-capacity UPS that also delivers peak shaving, load shifting, and extended backup.
Advanced grid independence
Microgrids need more than backup power. Facilities require grid-forming controls to establish local voltage and frequency during grid loss, plus black-start capability to recover from total outages without the utility.
How Fractal EMS delivers
Hybrid energy enablement
Mix and match solar, wind, gas, fuel cells, and BESS across BTM and FTM generation to bypass grid delays and raise renewable penetration.
Hardware-agnostic flexibility
Integrate any equipment brand for the best fit and lowest cost — cutting CapEx 20–30% with no vendor lock-in.
99.99%+ uptime, built rugged
Continuous asset oversight and rugged hardware (>30-year MTBF) with customizable redundancy for zero-downtime, mission-critical operation.
Fortified cybersecurity
An in-house cybersecurity and IT team with siloed defenses isolates vulnerabilities and keeps operations secure, compliant, and resilient.
New revenue from grid services
Earn through demand response, frequency regulation, energy arbitrage, and VPP participation — revenue that subsidizes your clean-energy investment.
Carbon tracking & analytics
Quantify real-time emissions, KPIs, and trends at the equipment, site, and fleet level to meet mandates and prove sustainability leadership.
Strategic advantages of the Fractal EMS control architecture
By combining a highly secure, tiered network with ultra-fast edge processing, Fractal EMS delivers a control platform engineered for high-density, mission-critical environments.
Unmatched cybersecurity
A tiered network from Level 0 to Level 4 provides deep, layered, high-perimeter defenses — critical for protecting hyperscale AI factories from attack.
Zero-millisecond response
Distributed Unit Controllers and a central sub-1 ms hybrid control loop dynamically stabilize the native DC buses (1500 Vdc and 800 Vdc) — absorbing microsecond GPU transients locally without supercapacitors and delivering true zero-transfer backup, which is functionally impossible for a 34.5 kV AC BESS with separate inverters.
Scale indefinitely
The repeatable "Fractal" block design scales without limit. Add an FDDUA power block and a new Fractal Unit Controller simply networks into the existing site — no complex reconfiguration.
