Can Supercapacitors Save the Grid from AI's Power Spikes?

AI workloads sometimes use power in short bursts, causing the power grid to see a wildly oscillating load.

Banks of supercapacitors can store energy on short timescales, compensating for AI ’s power bursts and creating a smoother power demand on the grid.

The problem is promising to get worse rather than better in the near future.
