Keeping Critical Infrastructure Live at a Hyperscale Data Centre Campus

A hyperscale data centre operator needed to maintain resilience, ensure asset integrity, and carry out high voltage testing without disrupting a live operational site. AVK delivered a turnkey testing solution using its own equipment, people, and logistical expertise. The result: zero disruption, maximum control, and the beginning of a new service model for future clients.

Renewable Energy and the Grid Inertia Challenge

As we accelerate the shift to renewables, we face a critical challenge: declining grid inertia. Traditional power plants inherently stabilise our energy systems—but wind, solar, and battery storage operate differently. What does this mean for grid reliability, and what technologies can fill the gap? From synthetic inertia to microgrids, we explore the solutions that could keep the lights on in a decarbonised world.
