Ampace to Spotlight Modular AI Data Center Power at Data Centre World Asia (DCWA)

Ampace, a global leader in advanced lithium-ion energy storage serving over 80 million users worldwide, presented its modular AI data center power solutions at Data Centre World Asia, held September 29–30 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. At Booth C60, Ampace shared perspective on the evolving role of battery storage in AI data center power infrastructure — from integration within prefabricated Power Train Unit (PTU) architectures to supporting load smoothing for increasingly dynamic AI workloads.

Integrating Battery Storage into Prefabricated Power Architectures

As AI capacity expands across Asia Pacific, prefabricated power infrastructure offers a modular approach to deployment and expansion. During the event, Ampace co-presented with Eaton in a joint session, exploring how battery systems fit into the electrical, physical and monitoring architecture of a PTU — aligning battery performance requirements with the broader goals of compact deployment and scalable growth.

The discussion took a broader view of AI data center power design, shifting the focus toward architecture-level integration. It also examined how evolving PTU architectures are driving new requirements for battery technology, and how these advancements support faster deployment and future scalability as AI data centers expand.

Supporting AI Load Smoothing Through UPS and Battery Coordination

Beyond PTU integration, Ampace demonstrated how battery technology is evolving to support AI load smoothing. Dynamic AI workloads place new demands on batteries, extending beyond standby backup to frequent charge-discharge cycling for load smoothing. Ampace outlined how coordinated UPS and battery operation can smooth grid-side power demand while preserving backup capability — backed by electronic-load testing and battery evaluations under simulated AI duty cycles. The PU100 supports both UPS backup power and AI load smoothing.
