Envision says 800V DC system is powering workloads at China AI campus

Envision says its integrated 800-volt direct-current power system is operating with live computing workloads at its Galaxy AI data center in Ulanqab, China. The system combines transformers, battery storage and real-time controls; the company says it could support denser AI computing and plans to expand the approach through its Mission Gobi initiative.
