Grid integration, simplified

SMA GridLink AC is an advanced large-load interconnection technology that enables utilities to connect hyperscale AI data centers with greater confidence. Using a back-to-back AC power conversion architecture with integrated battery energy storage, it transforms highly dynamic GPU power demand into a stable, grid-friendly load profile. The result is improved power quality, reduced load variability, and a more efficient path through the grid interconnection process.

No More Queue Delays

With SMA GridLink AC, your project gets power on your timeline, not your TSO's.
