BATTLE CREEK, Mich. – March 5, 2026 – DG Matrix and Musashi Energy Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Musashi, today announced a strategic collaboration to tackle one of the biggest hurdles in AI infrastructure: extreme power fluctuations caused by high-performance Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).
The collaboration integrates Musashi’s ESS400 Energy Storage System (powered by Musashi’s Hybrid SuperCapacitors) with DG Matrix’s Interport™ – a multi-port solid-state transformer. Together, these technologies manage the massive, rapid power “pulses” created by AI workloads, protecting utilities, generators, and data center equipment, unlocking stranded capacity, reducing infrastructure costs, and increasing safety.
The Problem: AI’s Pulse-Load
Modern AI clusters don’t draw power steadily. Instead, GPUs demand massive, repetitive bursts of energy. Traditional UPS systems and batteries were never designed for dynamic power spikes that significantly degrade battery life, stress primary and backup generators, and force operators to overbuild expensive infrastructure to handle the peaks.
Flexible Integration: Greenfield & Brownfield
The joint platform is designed for maximum versatility across the evolving data center landscape. It is ideal for greenfield projects, where developers can design optimized, high-density power architectures from the ground up. Simultaneously, the system is engineered to seamlessly integrate into existing brownfield operations, allowing operators to modernize power management and access stranded capacity without a total facility overhaul.
The Solution: Closing the Gap in AI Power
The new platform acts as a high-speed shock absorber to protect the electrical grid. By pairing sustainable, safe, high-power, extreme-cycle-rated, and fast-acting HSCs with real-time multi-port power routing and software-defined control, the integrated system closes that gap, enhancing or replacing UPS systems.
- Musashi’s Hybrid SuperCapacitors (HSCs): Unlike standard batteries, HSCs deliver 100x faster recharge speeds and 1,000x longer cycle life. They excel in the high-heat, high-demand environments of AI data centers.
- DG Matrix’s Interport: This solid-state platform serves as the “brain,” routing power in real time between the supercapacitors, the grid, and the AI servers. It eliminates the need for complex, multi-stage power conversions.
“We are pleased to collaborate with DG Matrix to solve a challenge that has quickly become a bottleneck for the industry,” noted Frank DeLattre, President of Musashi Energy Solutions – Americas. “AI data centers are creating power demands that far exceed the capabilities of traditional power systems. By combining our Hybrid SuperCapacitors with DG Matrix’s intelligent routing, we can manage these dynamic power shifts with far greater safety, speed, and efficiency than traditional batteries ever could.”
Efficiency and Cost Savings
Early testing shows the system successfully absorbs GPU spikes without disrupting steady-state power. This approach allows data center operators to:
- Reduce Battery Size: Smaller battery footprints save space and money.
- Protect Generators: Fewer “cycling events” extend the life of backup hardware.
- Simplify Architecture: Multi-port AC/DC connectivity supports a wide range of voltages (415V to 1500V).
“AI workloads are fundamentally changing how power must be controlled,” added Haroon Inam, CEO of DG Matrix. “By combining Musashi’s ESS400 Hybrid SuperCapacitor system with our Interport platform, we’re delivering a system-level solution that tames GPU pulse loads, simplifies infrastructure, and lowers lifecycle costs for AI data centers. This alliance demonstrates the future of intelligent power routing for mission-critical compute.”
Musashi’s ESS400 and DG Matrix’s Interport power routing are perfectly matched, creating an integrated platform that supports the rapidly evolving AI data center infrastructure. Both companies are actively pursuing joint system engineering, integration validation, and pilot deployments targeting AI data centers and mission-critical electrical applications.
The companies are currently moving toward pilot deployments for AI data centers and other mission-critical electrical applications.
