最近高盛搞了一个线上交流会， 请来的嘉宾是微软数据中心高级开发组的前首席工程师 Mark Monr oe，他在数字基础设施领域干了 40 多年，算是真正的行业专家。他点出了数据中心扩张的三大死 穴：电、水、人。 我们之前的文章中，也提过另外两个卡点：Memory和台积电的CoWoS产能。 电力：卡在脖子上的第一道坎 关于电力的卡脖子，之前讲过非常多，大家应该也都理解。 Monroe 说得很直白，电力是当前最要命的近期约束。云计算和 AI 推理这些业务必须离用户近，响 应速度才快，所以都扎堆在大城市周边。问题是这些地方本来用电就紧张，数据中心一来，电网直接 吃不消。 但AI 训练就没这个顾虑。训练模型对地理位置没啥要求，哪儿有电往哪儿搬，所以现在很多训练任 务都在往偏远地区迁移。这种分化其实挺明显的：推理要速度，训练要电量，各取所需。 那怎么办呢？Monroe 提到了两个方向。 第一个是"灵活负载管理"，说白了就是在用电高峰期让数据中心主动降低负荷。杜克大学做过一个 研究，如果数据中心愿意接受每年 0.25% 的停机时间（也就是 99.75% 的正常运行），美国电网能 多承载 76 GW 的新负载；如果能接受 ...

高市早苗周三正式获得众议院投票确认其连任日本首相。在这一程序性环节完成后，高市早苗将把工作 重心转向加快预算审议，并推动落实去年达成的美日贸易协议。 高市早苗领导的自民党在2月8日的众议院选举中赢得压倒性胜利。周三的程序性表决共有464张投票， 高市获得其中354票。鉴于日本参议院的表决可被众议院推翻，她连任首相已无悬念。 周三早些时候，高市早苗公布了美日贸易协议框架下5500亿美元投资承诺中的首批项目。她在社交媒体 发文称，美日两国将继续密切合作，确保投资项目迅速、顺利落地。 首批对美投资项目包括一座预计装机容量达9.2吉瓦的天然气发电厂、一座深水原油出口设施，以及一 座合成工业金刚石制造厂。 高市早苗周三正式获得众议院投票确认其连任日本首相。在这一程序性环节完成后，高市早苗将把工作 重心转向加快预算审议，并推动落实去年达成的美日贸易协议。 高市早苗领导的自民党在2月8日的众议院选举中赢得压倒性胜利。周三的程序性表决共有464张投票， 高市获得其中354票。鉴于日本参议院的表决可被众议院推翻，她连任首相已无悬念。 周三早些时候，高市早苗公布了美日贸易协议框架下5500亿美元投资承诺中的首批项目。她在社交媒体 ...

责任编辑：王永生 责任编辑：王永生 美国总统唐纳德・特朗普称，日本计划在俄亥俄州建造的一座大型天然气发电厂，将成为美国规模最大 的同类设施，其发电量可满足数百万家庭用电需求。根据美国商务部发布的投资概况文件，日本预计为 该项目投资330 亿美元，由软银集团旗下子公司SB 能源牵头开发。美国商务部长霍华德・卢特尼克周 二在声明中表示，该电厂装机容量将达9.2 吉瓦。这一规模约相当于9 座传统核反应堆，满负荷运行 时，可向美国最大电网运营商PJM 互联公司运营的电网供电，满足约740 万户家庭的用电需求。若建 成，这座俄亥俄州电厂将超过太平洋能源集团计划在得克萨斯州建设的7.65 吉瓦天然气项目，同时跻身 全球最大天然气发电厂之列 —— 迪拜水电局称其运营的杰贝阿里电厂为全球最大燃气发电站，装机容 量为9.547 吉瓦。 美国总统唐纳德・特朗普称，日本计划在俄亥俄州建造的一座大型天然气发电厂，将成为美国规模最大 的同类设施，其发电量可满足数百万家庭用电需求。根据美国商务部发布的投资概况文件，日本预计为 该项目投资330 亿美元，由软银集团旗下子公司SB 能源牵头开发。美国商务部长霍华德・卢特尼克周 二在声明中表示 ...
