Overview
- NVIDIA introduced the DSX Ready qualification program with initial categories for battery energy storage systems and coolant distribution units, and LG Energy Solution and LG Electronics secured early listings on the DSX AI Factory Marketplace.
- LG Energy Solution’s AC-coupled BESS qualified under DSX Ready using modular 2.5 MW / 5.1 MWh blocks and supports grid-forming operation, fast response, voltage ride-through, and AI load smoothing.
- LG Electronics’ megawatt-class coolant distribution unit cleared DSX Ready tests for large-scale direct-to-chip liquid cooling after earlier approvals of 600 kW and 1 MW models, and the unit now appears on NVIDIA’s marketplace.
- NVIDIA says DSX Ready helps builders choose validated components to shorten design and integration work but does not replace site-level engineering; other initial qualified vendors include Tesla, Hitachi Energy, LiquidStack, and Vertiv.
- LG plans to scale North American LFP battery cell capacity to more than 50 GWh by the end of 2026, a move that investors responded to with share-price gains and that could speed local deployment of AI data centers and access to tax incentives.
