The idea of datacenters feeding power back into the electricity grid during peak demand may sound promising, but operators say it's unlikely to catch on beyond a few trials in Ireland because of the cost and technical complexity involved. So-called "grid-interactive" datacenters use battery energy storage systems (BESS), typically part of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), to supply electricity back to the grid during peak demand periods.
