Recently, ABB and Hangzhou Zhongheng Electric Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhongheng Electric”) renewed their strategic cooperation agreement in Hangzhou. Based on their long-term cooperation, the two parties will further focus on AIDC and power distribution fields, deepen the collaboration and market cooperation in DC power distribution technology, and jointly explore efficient and reliable power distribution solutions that meet the demands of the next-generation AI computing infrastructure.。
With the accelerated development of artificial intelligence technology, the computing infrastructure is evolving towards higher power density, which imposes higher requirements on the energy efficiency, reliability and space utilization of the power distribution system. The DC architecture, by optimizing the energy conversion and distribution processes, is expected to reduce energy loss and enhance system efficiency, providing a more flexible power supply path for the next-generation AI data centers. The collaborative innovation of power distribution technology and system architecture is becoming an important direction to support the development of AI computing infrastructure.
In line with this development trend, ABB and Zhongheng Electric will further leverage their respective technical and application experience in electrical components, power distribution technology and DC power supply systems to strengthen collaboration in areas such as product matching, technical adaptation and system testing and verification for the DC power distribution architecture. At the same time, both parties will explore broader market cooperation opportunities to better align the relevant technologies and products with the actual application needs of AI data centers.
Zou Enchang, Senior Vice President of ABB China and Head of the Smart Building China Business Unit, said: “The rapid development of AI computing power is posing new requirements for data center power distribution systems, with energy efficiency and power supply reliability being particularly crucial. ABB looks forward to deepening technical collaboration with Zhongheng Electric to promote the innovation and application of DC power distribution technology, and better support the development of the next-generation AI computing infrastructure.”
Xu Feifei, Vice Chairman and President of Zhongheng Electric, said: “In the era of AI, Zhongheng Electric is accelerating the layout of power technology and solutions for high-density computing infrastructure. We look forward to further leveraging the technical advantages in DC power supply and distribution of both parties to deepen technological innovation and industrial collaboration, creating greater value for customers.”
Over the years, ABB and Zhongheng Electric have continuously deepened cooperation in the field of data center power distribution, establishing a good cooperation foundation. The renewal of this strategic cooperation agreement will further promote the expansion from existing product matching to deeper technical and application collaboration between both parties, jointly seizing the new opportunities brought by the development of AI computing infrastructure.
Zhongheng Electric was founded in 1996 and was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (stock code 002364) in 2010. The company is a national manufacturing single-champion demonstration enterprise, focusing on the power supply technology of the entire DC system and creating energy digitalization solutions in fields such as AI computing engine data centers and new power systems.
The company leads in technologies such as high-voltage DC (HVDC) power supply and prefabricated power modules, and has led the formulation of HVDC national standards. With 30 years of industry expertise, Zhongheng Electric takes “Making Energy Smarter” as its mission, working with global partners to jointly build an efficient, intelligent and safe digital energy ecosystem.
