NVIDIA is supporting the development of five companies that are using artificial intelligence to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy system. The five companies, which are leveraging NVIDIA's AI capabilities to develop innovative solutions for the clean energy sector, are transforming the way we generate, distribute, and consume energy. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, these companies are paving the way for a more sustainable energy future.
Five companies, supported by NVIDIA, are pioneering the use of AI in clean energy to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy system. NVIDIA's Inception program provides access to the company's latest technology, including its AI-powered platforms and computing hardware, to support clean energy innovations. ThinkLabs uses AI to speed up the interconnection of clean energy sources onto the grid, reducing evaluation time from 30-45 days to 2 minutes. Atomic Canyon uses AI to streamline nuclear power plant operations, creating a virtual assistant and workbench for nuclear professionals. Redwood Materials uses AI to develop large-scale, off-grid power solutions for AI factories, repurposing recycled electric vehicle batteries. TerraPower uses NVIDIA's Omniverse platform to create digital twin software for nuclear energy siting and delivery. Commonwealth Fusion Systems uses NVIDIA's Omniverse libraries and OpenUSD to develop fusion energy, a carbon-free source of power.
As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change and the increasing demand for clean energy, innovators are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy system. Five companies, supported by NVIDIA, are pioneering the use of AI in clean energy, transforming the way we generate, distribute, and consume energy.
At the heart of this revolution is NVIDIA's Inception program, a collaboration with cutting-edge startups that provides access to the company's latest technology, including its AI-powered platforms and computing hardware. The five companies profiled below are leveraging NVIDIA's AI capabilities to develop innovative solutions for the clean energy sector.
First up is ThinkLabs, which is using its AI-powered digital twins and agents to speed up the interconnection of clean energy sources onto the grid. By creating virtual replicas of the grid and simulating the behavior of different energy sources, ThinkLabs is able to identify potential issues and optimize the grid to handle variability in energy demand. The company's software has already been deployed by Southern California Edison to reduce the time required to evaluate grid interconnection applications from 30-45 days to just two minutes.
Another company, Atomic Canyon, is using AI to streamline nuclear power plant operations. The company's Neutron platform is an AI workbench built for nuclear professionals, which turns complex data into a knowledge layer that can be accessed and used to inform decision-making. Meanwhile, NIVA, another platform developed by Atomic Canyon, is an AI-powered virtual assistant that brings together expertise from industry, academia, and government to support the national nuclear fleet.
Redwood Materials, a company that specializes in battery engineering, is using its expertise to develop large-scale, off-grid power solutions for AI factories. By repurposing recycled electric vehicle batteries and integrating them with an AI intelligence layer running on NVIDIA's Blackwell platform, Redwood Materials is able to create a secure, flexible energy system that can be deployed in months rather than years. This approach also lowers the cost of power by eliminating the need for transformers and inverters, and can deploy repurposed or new electric vehicle batteries.
TerraPower, a company that is working to make nuclear energy safer, more sustainable, and quickly harnessable, is using NVIDIA's Omniverse platform to create digital twin software that will support its efforts to accelerate the siting and delivery of future plants. The company's Natrium reactor, which separates itself from traditional nuclear power plants by using liquid metal sodium instead of water, is designed to operate at a lower pressure and can be cooled without offsite water or electricity, making it a safer and more efficient option.
Finally, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a company that is developing fusion energy, a carbon-free source of power, is using NVIDIA's Omniverse libraries and OpenUSD to compress years of experimentation into weeks for its SPARC tokamak demonstration fusion machine. This breakthrough technology enables stronger magnetic fields than previous fusion systems, allowing the design to be 40x smaller and cheaper to build and operate.
These five companies, supported by NVIDIA's AI and computing capabilities, are transforming the clean energy sector and paving the way for a more sustainable energy future. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, they are able to accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more efficient energy system that can meet the world's growing energy demands while reducing our carbon footprint.
