CHINT Showcases Prefab Power Pods at DCWA 2026 to Accelerate AI Data Centre Deployment

At Data Centre World Asia 2026, CHINT showcased its factory-built Power Pod and next-generation solid-state transformer technology for the region's rapidly expanding AI data centre market.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CHINT, a trusted provider of integrated power and energy solutions, showcased its factory-built Power Pod at Data Centre World Asia 2026, held in Singapore. The solution demonstrated how a pre-engineered approach to data centre power infrastructure can help operators accelerate deployment and simplify on-site integration.

Factory-Built Power Infrastructure for Faster Deployment

As AI workloads increase power density and accelerate data centre expansion, power infrastructure is becoming an increasingly important factor in project timelines and scalability. At Data Centre World Asia 2026, CHINT demonstrated how its approach addresses multiple stages of the data centre power chain, from grid connection and medium-voltage distribution and transformation to low-voltage distribution and circuit protection at the IT load.

Rather than treating each stage as a standalone product, CHINT brings electrical systems, engineering, manufacturing, and testing together. This holistic and cohesive one-stop model supports the complete data centre power journey, minimizing disruptions so data centres can begin operations as soon as possible. The Power Pod is one example of this philosophy.

CHINT's factory-built Power Pod brings key electrical infrastructure together in a compact, integrated and pre-engineered solution, and can cut on-site installation time by up to 60% compared with field-built systems. With deployment made possible in as little as one week once the unit reaches site, CHINT is helping to significantly narrow the gap between equipment delivery and an energized data hall.

"Power is now the hardest part of building AI infrastructure," said Paul Lee, APAC Strategic Segment Director at CHINT. "Operators don't need another pile of components to integrate, wire, and commission on site – they need a single, factory-validated power block they can install and switch on. That's the problem our Power Pod is built to solve."

The Power Pod is a fully enclosed, containerized power system engineered for outdoor installation, integrating switchgear, transformer, and circuit protection, alongside supporting systems such as cooling, fire protection, lighting and security. All of it comes pre-assembled and factory tested before shipping. It is available in configurations from 500kW to 4,000kW, enough to power anything from a single high-density AI rack up to roughly a full data hall of them.

Most of the Power Pod's core equipment is manufactured and factory-tested in-house. The equipment is put through validation at CHINT's own testing facility before a unit ships. Through providing a single point of accountability from build through validation, CHINT's Power Pods are helping AI data centres achieve system readiness sooner rather than later.

Supporting Asia Pacific's Data Centre Growth

Alongside the Power Pod, CHINT previewed its Solid-State Transformer (SST), a key part of the next-generation DC power architecture. This technology is a building block for future HVDC data centre architectures, aimed at cutting the number of separate conversion stages – and the associated energy losses – between the grid and the IT rack.

CHINT's presence at Data Centre World Asia 2026 comes as the Asia Pacific data centre market enters another phase of capacity expansion. The combination of accelerating AI demand, constrained power infrastructure and increasingly complex project requirements is placing greater emphasis on solutions that can be manufactured, tested and deployed with greater predictability.

Through its participation at the event, CHINT demonstrated its continued focus on supporting the evolving power requirements of data centres across Asia Pacific, combining engineering capabilities, manufacturing resources and emerging power technologies to address the demands of increasingly power-intensive computing environments.

CHINT Showcases Prefab Power Pods at DCWA 2026 to Accelerate AI Data Centre Deployment

JINZHONG, China, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from China Daily:

The seventh International Ancient Capitals Forum and 2026 Global Mayors Dialogue took place in Luoyang, Henan province, from Friday to Sunday.

The events showcased Luoyang's character, industrial strength and cultural charm, with important releases on topics including the protection of archaeological sites and the creative use of cultural heritage.

Home to abundant historical relics and a growing urban population, the city has in recent years sought to protect and revitalize heritage sites while balancing preservation and utilization.

Through long-term efforts, Luoyang has transformed protected cultural relics into archaeological parks. It has adopted measures including building new urban areas away from the old town and explored tailored plans for individual sites, making progress in bringing its heritage to life.

First carved after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534) moved the imperial capital to Luoyang, Longmen Grottoes are a world-famous UNESCO World Heritage Site and a treasure trove of stone-carving art.

To better protect and pass on this gem of Chinese culture, the Longmen Grottoes Research Institute conducts conservation and restoration work, technical research, heritage monitoring and digital preservation.

Projects tackling hazards such as water seepage, unstable rock masses and weathering are steadily advancing, gradually forming an overarching conservation framework for the grottoes.

The Sui-Tang Luoyang City site is another typical example. It served successively as the capital or secondary capital of the Sui (581-618), Tang (618-907), Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (907-960) period and Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) for more than 530 years, representing the pinnacle of ancient Chinese urban planning and architectural craftsmanship.

Around 2005, low-rise dwellings, enterprises and factories dotted the site. Residents hoped for better living conditions, enterprises sought to expand production, while the site required standardized protection and revitalization.

To balance heritage protection with improvements to residents' lives, a total of 973 households, nearly 3,300 villagers and 63 enterprises were relocated from the site between 2007 and 2024. Within its palace core zone, 62 hectares of land were freed up for heritage display.

The city also integrated urban green spaces, ecological zones and water-source reserves in planning and building a nearly 200-hectare botanical garden.
