Eaton and CTS Nordics have collectively unveiled the NordicEPOD manufacturing facility in Oslo, which is able to produce standardised energy modules designed to hurry up the development of information centres amid rising demand pushed by AI functions.
The modules – EPODs – utilise Eaton’s proprietary expertise, together with the EnergyAware Uninterruptible Energy Provide (UPS) and SF6-free medium voltage switchgear, to ship energy-efficient crucial energy to servers. Every module is engineered to attach the ability grid with an information centre’s IT infrastructure, containing important energy, backup, cooling, and management programs able to supporting as much as 2 MW {of electrical} energy.
By finishing key commissioning phases on the manufacturing facility and standardising the design, the modules are prepared for speedy integration on-site, lowering the necessity for expert employees and reducing prices.
Sitting between the ability grid and the IT infrastructure of the information centre, EPODs include crucial energy, backup, cooling, and management programs to help the availability of as much as 2 MW {of electrical} energy.
The 12,000 sqm facility will manufacture as much as 350 EPODs per 12 months.
Ciarán Forde, Vice President of Strategic Accounts and Alliances at Eaton EMEA, stated, “Eaton’s superior EnergyAware UPS, based mostly on silicon-carbide inverters, along with probably the most confirmed SF6-free medium voltage switchgear within the business, are amongst the options that make this EPOD expertise supply to information centre operators really distinctive.”
Gisle Eckhoff, Vice President of Enterprise Growth at CTS Nordics, added, “Our experience in information centre design, along with Eaton’s confirmed energy administration expertise, international attain and dedication, are encapsulated within the EPOD and it provides as much as a profitable formulation for the information centre business which must construct capability quick, regardless of the scarcity of development and engineering abilities throughout Europe.”
