Challenge

Data centers must reduce time-to-market and time-to-power while adapting to grid constraints, evolving designs, and supply chain disruptions. Traditional, site-built power distribution increases complexity, delays commissioning, and adds construction risk - ultimately slowing revenue generation.​

Solution

Deploy prefabricated, compact, plug-and-play power distribution modules that are factory-assembled, tested, and customized to your needs. By minimizing on-site interfaces and integrating all components into a single solution, you optimize your footprint, accelerate installation, reduce risk with predictable deployment and save costs.

Unlock double plug-and-play with the digital twin

Prefabricated power solutions for data centers are designed with BIM right from the start,including third-party products. This makes installation and commissioning of your power supplynot only faster, but also gives you the additional benefit of integrating it into your buildingmanagement system. Real-time data of your data center's energy twin helps you to increaselifecycle performance, makes troubleshooting faster and overall operation more efficient andreliable.​

CASE STUDY

Plug & Play Power​

Company: Compass Datacenters​

​Location: USA​

​Siemens solutions: custom modular medium-voltage skid solution, 8DJH 36 gas-insulated switchgear and transformers​

​Siemens and Compass Datacenters co-developed a modular medium-voltage skid integrating switchgear and transformer into a single, factory-tested unit. The standardized design supports a manufacturing-style approach to data center construction and enables fast, repeatable deployment. As a fungible asset, the skid can be relocated and reused across sites. ​
