Siemens held a special session today at the 20th China IDC Industry Annual Conference, launching its newly upgraded Data Center Solution 5.0 and showcasing several new products for the "AI factory" of the future. Among them, the SENTRON 3VA series molded case circuit breakers for 800/1000V DC made their debut in the Chinese market. With this launch as a new starting point, Siemens will continue to build its full-stack hardware and software capabilities, deeply integrating technology with various scenarios to help data centers accelerate efficiency upgrades and further enhance AI computing power.“With the explosive growth of generative AI, a new computing revolution has begun. Faced with increasing demands for availability, power density, and computing-power synergy, building smarter, greener, and safer data centers has become an essential question for the computing power industry's upgrade and is also Siemens' innovative mission,” said Lin Bin, Executive Vice President of Siemens (China) Ltd. and General Manager of Siemens Greater China Smart Infrastructure Group. “Through the newly released Data Center Solution 5.0, we will leverage Siemens' technological advantages in data-physical integration, as well as decades of industry knowledge and experience, and collaborate with a wide range of ecosystem partners to provide full lifecycle technical support for data centers, unleashing new productivity in the AI era with ‘new-quality computing power.’”Siemens Data Center Solution 5.0 spans the entire lifecycle from planning and construction to operation and maintenance, integrating virtual simulation software, smart hardware, and AI applications to empower the high-value transformation of the computing power industry. Many of its products are already available on the Siemens Xcelerator platform. Through this open digital business platform, Siemens continues to expand its data center innovation ecosystem and accelerate win-win cooperation with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry.Making Computing Smarter: Siemens integrates the real and digital worlds, using a combination of hardware and software technologies to break down the barriers between "watts" and "bits," effectively enhancing the intelligence level of data centers.Simcenter software can simulate and design systems such as process machinery, electrical systems, and thermal management. For example, it can simulate complex interactions from chips to cooling systems and perform precise heat flow analysis across the entire chain from "chip to server to rack to data center," preparing data centers virtually to handle challenges such as concurrency and sudden impacts from dynamic loads. PSS®SINCAL software can simulate, analyze, and calculate the planning and design of power supply, distribution, energy storage, and power consumption systems, improving the energy utilization and stability of power systems during operation.The fully integrated architecture comprehensively integrates medium and low voltage power distribution, diesel generators, building automation, and cooling systems, enabling data interconnection, dynamic collaborative optimization, integrated monitoring and intelligent operation and maintenance, and early warning of faults, transforming passive response into proactive defense and reducing downtime risk by more than 30%.Making Computing Greener: Facing major trends such as green electricity and computing-power synergy, Siemens consistently prioritizes PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) optimization as a strategic focus, leveraging low-carbon and energy-saving technologies to optimize energy efficiency management throughout the entire data center lifecycle.Siemens' green and low-carbon data center solutions take an energy and carbon management perspective, combining the needs of power distribution asset operation and maintenance, cooling scenario optimization, and microgrid management. They integrate a full suite of digital products, including the Smart ECX intelligent energy and carbon management platform, NXpower Matrix power distribution system, Panel Manager, and AI BOX cooling system. This horizontally connects the energy value chain of source, grid, load, and storage, and vertically delves into high-energy-consuming and high-carbon-emission scenarios, achieving green power supply, transparent energy and carbon emissions, and highly efficient energy use.With the continuous increase in single-rack power and increasingly stringent PUE standards, integrated air-liquid thermal management solutions have become an essential path for future intelligent computing centers. Siemens, together with its partners, provides cutting-edge integrated air-liquid solutions for data centers using hardware and software products and technologies, ensuring stable, efficient, and dynamically matched thermal management. For air-cooled systems, Siemens White Space Cooling Optimization Solution (WSCO) uses AI algorithms to optimize cooling system operation strategies in real time and dynamically adjust cooling parameters, achieving up to 40% energy savings with a payback period of less than 3 years.Making computing power safer: Siemens ensures uninterrupted and stable operation of data centers with highly reliable power distribution systems and intelligent monitoring and early warning systems.For medium-voltage power distribution systems, Siemens provides highly reliable intelligent NXAirS air-insulated switchgear and green future-oriented blue GIS environmentally friendly gas-insulated switchgear to safeguard uninterrupted data center operation.For low-voltage power distribution systems, high-quality low-voltage switchgear and products such as the SENTRON 3WA series intelligent air circuit breakers ensure the availability and security of the power supply system. Integrated power modules, through modular, prefabricated, and intelligent design, significantly improve data center space utilization, power efficiency, and operational reliability.Meanwhile, Siemens is leading industry trends by launching 800/1000V DC power distribution products for data centers, specifically targeting the HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) power architecture of future "AI factories." At this launch event, the SENTRON 3VA series molded case circuit breakers, suitable for 800/1000V DC, made their debut in the Chinese market. These circuit breakers meet both IEC and UL standards, helping customers precisely target overseas markets. Siemens solid-state circuit breakers also made their first appearance, showcasing its forward-looking approach to innovative technologies. Furthermore, Siemens is accelerating localization innovation specifically for HVDC applications in data centers, creating power distribution products that meet the needs of local customers and providing competitive solutions for high-end applications such as AI computing clusters.Currently, Siemens data center solutions have been widely deployed in China and are deeply applied in several major national projects, including the "East Data, West Computing" initiative. For example, at the Hebei Huailai Heying Data Technology Industrial Park, facing the pressure of deploying 1000 EFLOPS of ultra-high computing power, Siemens integrated power modules achieved breakthroughs in delivery speed and operating efficiency. The solution adopts a prefabricated factory model, making on-site deployment as efficient as "building blocks," compressing the project cycle by approximately 60%, saving about 30% of floor space, and improving link efficiency to 95.6%. This not only helps customers optimize PUE metrics but also significantly reduces potential failure points, further enhancing uptime assurance. For many years, Siemens' partners in the data center field have broadly covered multiple sectors, including operators, financial institutions, internet companies, and Colo service providers. It also collaborates closely with design institutes, integrators, and supply chain partners to jointly build a collaborative innovation and value-sharing industry ecosystem.
