3DFS attended DistribuTECH this year as a part of the delegation representing North Carolina’s Energy Sector. From January 23-25 in San Antonio, Texas, we were delighted to be alongside E4 Carolinas, Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, and the Research Triangle Clean Tech Cluster at Booth #627. We met many people and anticipate many partnerships and clients…

We are honored to announce that Popular Mechanics has awarded 3DFS the 2017 Breakthrough Award for Software-Defined Electricity, labeling it an innovation that changed the world this year; Hyperefficient Digitized Electricity. We would like to offer a special thank you to Ezra Dyer and all of the Popular Mechanics staff that were involved to…

Data Center Instability Needs a Reliably Trackable Metric It is understood that uptime is mission critical for a data center. We design our data centers with multiple redundancies, secondary and tertiary backup power, high quality components and infrastructure, distributed UPS and PDUs, and the list goes on. A lot of thought is put into…

We can adapt this technology to be put inside refrigerators and HVAC units and provide 3DFS Software-Defined Power (the technology is Software-Defined Electricity today) within them. The major benefit from this is smooth continuous undistorted power for the unit that will include complete surge protection. The unit will require less current to startup and…

Grid Resiliency When dissecting the concept of grid resiliency, it is clear that the grid is an amassment of smaller independent electrical networks which are somewhat unstable, frequently demonstrating disruption of service which can be as simple as a flicker or as consequential as a loss of power. The interconnection of precarious electrical networks increases…

The instant that the VectorQ2 is turned ON you will begin saving power and money. These must be looked at separately because the amount of money you are charged is only partly determined by the amount of power you consume. When and how your Data Center consumes power is factored into how you are charged,…

3DFS Software-Defined Power (the technology is Software-Defined Electricity today) received favorable attention in the “Reinventing America” section of Forbes highlighting the disruptive nature of the technology and some understanding of the path ahead. You can read more at Forbes or download a PDF. What the coverage was about The About page records the Forbes…

Fossil fuel generation of electricity is directly related to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and regardless of the regional differences in power generation profiles, a substantial portion of the electricity supplied to facilities worldwide is generated from some fossil fuel source. On the other end is the consumption of electricity. Nothing about consumption is…

Update, October 2026. Software-Defined Power is the name 3DFS used in 2016 for what it now calls Software-Defined Electricity: measure the current, model it and correct it digitally at the panel instead of filtering it. The current description is on the Technology page, and the data center application is on the data centers page. Sources:…

Software-Defined Electricity Automatically Balances Phases in AC Power Networks (For the most recent article with updated images click here) The Software-Defined Electricity method controls and balances power flow in Real-Time by using an innovation in computing and power electronics and an advancement in sensing and controls. The balance across phases is a critical component to…
