STAR Demonstration
Superconducting Technology for AI Racks (STAR) Demonstration
VEIR has developed the ability to unlock increased capacity, data center performance, speed of deployment, and lower cost at scale.
Integrating a novel approach to cooling, unique termination designs, and high-performance superconducting cables, the Demonstration’s solution delivers up to 10 times greater power and over 5 times the distance of conventional options, enabling smaller, more flexible data center footprints and faster deployment.
STAR successfully demonstrates the use of superconductor cables to deliver more than 3 megawatts (MWs) of power in a simulated environment. Longer distance runs with smaller cables and lower voltage drop, STAR shows that VEIR’s superconducting solution is safe, reliable, and scalable to hundreds of MWs for data center environments.
The construction and energization of STAR is a major milestone achievement for both VEIR and the technology industry in the pursuit of innovative solutions to deliver more power to and throughout the data center campuses of today and the future.
Key Outcomes
Faster Deployment
VEIR’s core technology advantage with fewer components, less space, and simplified construction, can lead to quick-deployed superconducting cable solutions that bring data center campuses online faster.
Technology Milestone
The Demonstration’s superconducting technology solution can scale to deliver hundreds of megawatts of power in and around a physical building space, a critical step for data center campuses.
Compatible, Safe, Resilient
The solution is capable of carrying more than 3MWs in a single cable, and confirms its safety, resiliency and reliability, as well as seamless compatibility with advanced AC and DC architectures
(including 800VDC formats).
More Power, Less Space
Delivers up to 10 times more power with less and smaller cables, including more than 3MWs via a single cable, covering more than 5 times the distance compared to traditional cables, supporting higher compute density and reduced latency.
