Siemens and Delta Electronics have announced a partnership to deliver prefabricated, integrated containerized power solutions for data centers. The collaboration aims to address key challenges faced by data center operators, including time-to-market constraints, rising costs, and sustainability requirements.
The new solutions involve modular power systems that are prefabricated and pre-tested off-site. This approach is intended to provide a standardized plug-and-play system that can reduce deployment times by up to 50 percent and lower construction risks. According to the companies, the efficient design may also result in capital expenditure reductions of up to 20 percent and decrease carbon emissions by as much as 27 percent due to less concrete usage in the optimized layouts.
Jimmy Yiin, Executive Vice President of Global Business Operations at Delta Electronics, Inc., stated: "Delta's commitment to energy efficiency is foundational to this agreement. By leveraging our expertise in power solutions from grid to chip, which enables us to architect the system closer to the critical load, our Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), batteries, and advanced thermal management technologies are uniquely designed for the high-density demands of the AI era. Working with Siemens allows us to further expand the reach of our cutting-edge, energy-saving solutions rapidly through a single, globally supported supply chain across EMEA and APAC.”
Stephan May, CEO of Electrification & Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure said: "Our partnership with Delta represents an important milestone for data center construction in the world's fastest-growing markets. By combining Siemens' electrical power distribution and engineering services with Delta's high-efficiency UPS, battery and cooling offerings, together we are delivering a prefabricated, customizable solution that can drastically cut time-to-market by up to half. This approach also lowers construction risk with better predictability, while enhancing energy efficiency and supporting the long-term sustainability goals of our customers.”
The companies will use Building Information Modeling (BIM) from project inception—including integration of third-party products—to enable real-time data sharing within building management systems. This digital twin methodology supports faster installation and commissioning while optimizing energy consumption throughout a facility’s lifecycle.
Siemens emphasizes its commitment to partnerships that complement its expertise and product portfolio in order to create improved outcomes for customers. The company describes this collaborative ecosystem as essential for fostering innovation and interoperability needed for addressing significant industry challenges.
