- Huawei’s FusionPower 2.0 data centre power supply and distribution solution is based on the 100 kW module
- Company’s SmartLi UPS uses Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) battery cell
Huawei has officially launched its all-new Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) power module globally. The product, as per the company, enables the power density of a single module to reach 100 kW/3 U.
“Due to our strong technical strength and rich experience in the power supply industry, Huawei continues to invest in R&D and innovation. We keep pursuing higher power density and more advanced li-ion battery energy storage technologies in data centres, to meet the new requirements of simplified architecture, high reliability, and simplified O&M for power supply system of cloud data centres, and helps customers accelerate digital transformation,” stated Sanjay Kumar Sainani, SVP & CTO of Huawei Global Data Centre Facility Business.
The SmartLi UPS uses a Lithium Ferro Phosphate(LFP) battery cell that, as informed by the company, cannot catch fire due to thermal runaway.
One standard rack can support one MW power
Huawei’s FusionPower 2.0 data centre power supply and distribution solution is based on the 100 kW module. The company informed that it achieves the one MW, one rack (one standard rack can support one MW power) principle with a footprint that is more than halved.
Huawei informed that SmartLi’s unique smart voltage balance technology ensures that the system can still run properly even if one battery module is faulty, ensuring the system reliability. The built-in battery-management-system (BMS) ensures the reliability of the li-ion batteries, and works seamlessly with Huawei FusionPower and NetEco management system to reduce the OPEX.
“With the development of AI, big data, cloud computing, and Internet of Things (IoT), data centres have become larger and more complex. With the continual evolution of IT computing capabilities and corresponding improvements to CPU and server power, high-density solutions will gain favour. Power supply and distribution systems in traditional large data centres face a myriad of issues, including low reliability, high power consumption, large footprint, and difficult O&M,” read Huawei’s official statement.
The FusionPower2.0 data centre power supply and distribution solution (1200 kVA) requires 12 power modules for achieving one MW per rack. It is based on the combination of ultra-high-density FusionPower2.0 and Huawei SmartLi intelligent. SmartLi’s active current balance technology supports the hybrid use of old and new battery strings.
