With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and large-scale models, global demand for computing power continues to surge. Data centers are rapidly evolving toward higher density, greater energy efficiency, and global scalability. As the backbone of compute infrastructure, the reliability, deployment speed, and intelligence of power systems directly determine the quality and performance of data center construction and operations.
With over 13 years of deep expertise in modular data centers, CIMC Digital Power has introduced its PTU (Power Terminal Unit) solution. Built on a highly integrated, modular, and intelligent design, the PTU is engineered to meet the needs of both domestic and international data center projects—delivering efficient, reliable power infrastructure that enables rapid deployment and stable operations worldwide.
Addressing Industry Bottlenecks in Traditional Power Infrastructure
In today’s global data center market—especially in overseas deployments—traditional power infrastructure models have become a major constraint. Key challenges include:
1. Lengthy and unpredictable construction timelines
On-site installation is heavily constrained by site conditions, labor availability, and cross-border coordination. Power system deployment typically takes 5–6 weeks, delaying project delivery and time-to-market.
2. Complex commissioning with elevated risk
Multi-vendor equipment integration, manual wiring, and on-site commissioning increase the likelihood of human error, leading to system failures, unplanned downtime, and prolonged acceptance processes.
3. High labor costs and slow response times
Operations and maintenance rely on skilled technicians, who are often scarce and costly in overseas markets. Delayed fault response can impact business continuity and long-term returns.
4. Challenges in cross-border deployment and adaptability
Complicated approval processes, inconsistent standards, and logistical barriers make it difficult for non-standardized equipment to be deployed globally or adapted to diverse environmental and grid conditions.
Against this backdrop, the CIMC PTU solution provides a transformative answer—redefining how data center power infrastructure is built and operated through an integrated, system-level approach.
Integrated Design for Efficient Power Infrastructure Delivery
CIMC PTU serves as the core component of prefabricated power modules for data centers. Its integrated architecture consolidates power distribution, voltage transformation, power quality optimization, and system protection—enabling efficient coordination and precise allocation of multiple power sources, including utility power, UPS, energy storage systems, and diesel generators.
The solution adopts a factory-prefabrication plus on-site assembly model. Design, manufacturing, and full-process testing are completed in the factory, while on-site work is limited to module installation—significantly accelerating project timelines. With CIMC’s in-house testing platform, the system supports Level 2 to Level 4 testing, including Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), ensuring standardization and delivery consistency.
As a true plug-and-play modular power subsystem, CIMC PTU is ideal for prefabricated data centers (containerized or modular), emergency capacity expansion, and retrofitting legacy facilities—breaking traditional constraints of time and location.
Designed for Global Deployment: Meeting Core Project Needs
To address common challenges in overseas data center projects—such as complex site conditions, lengthy approval processes, high coordination costs, and extended build cycles—CIMC PTU delivers a comprehensive solution focused on four core pillars: high reliability, energy efficiency, rapid deployment, and intelligent management. It fully supports Tier III and Tier IV data center standards.
High reliability for uninterrupted operations
CIMC PTU enables fast switching between multiple power sources and adopts an N+1 redundancy design to achieve 99.999% availability. Integrated multi-layer protection mechanisms ensure resilience against grid instability and complex power environments, meeting regional compliance and certification requirements.
High energy efficiency for sustainable development
The system integrates high-efficiency transformers (≥98%) and high-frequency UPS systems (≥96%). Compared to conventional power distribution solutions, line losses are reduced by up to 30%, significantly improving power utilization and supporting global sustainability goals.
Rapid deployment and streamlined O&M
Leveraging factory prefabrication, CIMC PTU reduces construction time by an average of 60% compared to traditional approaches, while minimizing reliance on local construction resources. Modular design and optimized maintenance further enhance serviceability. Supported by a global service network, CIMC provides 24/7 remote diagnostics and on-site response within 48 hours.
Intelligent management for diverse applications
CIMC PTU enables real-time monitoring of key parameters such as voltage, current, and battery status. It is compatible with mainstream protocols and integrates seamlessly with DCIM systems, supporting remote monitoring and intelligent operations. This makes it particularly well-suited for geographically distributed deployments, ensuring compliance, localized management, and efficient cross-region operations.
