German tech company Siemens has partnered with Taiwanese power solutions firm Delta Power to provide prefabricated, modular power solutions for data centers in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

According to the companies, the modular, scalable design offering will reduce time-to-market for data centers by up to 50 percent and capital expenditures by up to 20 percent.

“Our partnership with Delta represents an important milestone for data center construction in the world’s fastest-growing markets,” said Stephan May, CEO of Electrification & Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.

As part of the agreement, Siemens will combine its experience in consulting, planning, and implementing intelligent electrical infrastructure with Delta’s uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, batteries, and thermal regulation technologies.

The offering will be supplied in modules where various electrical components for power supply are installed in containers – so-called SKIDs or eHouses. The units will be prefabricated and tested in advance by the two partners. In addition, they will be designed to be plug-and-play at the point of use, which the companies claim will save space and shorten commissioning time.

“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,” said Jimmy Yiin, EVP of global business operations, Delta Electronics. “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.”

The partners assert that savings will not only be made in time-to-market but also in carbon emissions, with the modules potentially delivering up to a 27 percent reduction.

The power solutions will be designed using Building Information Modeling (BIM), which the companies claim will enable real-time data integration into the building management system, improving performance, enabling faster troubleshooting, and enabling more efficient operations over the lifecycle.

Siemens has increasingly targeted the data center sector over the past year. In June, the company launched a new prefabricated data center module offering.

Also in June, the company partnered with Eaton to develop an on-site modular gas-powered solution for the data center sector.
