LS Electric is collaborating with German power semiconductor company Infineon Technologies to jointly develop direct current (DC) power solutions for AI data centers and future power grids.
On July 10, LS Electric announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Infineon at its R&D campus in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, to cooperate on the development of AI data center and DC power technologies.
Through this agreement, the two companies will work together to develop next-generation DC power solutions based on power semiconductor technology, including power conversion devices for energy storage systems (ESS), semiconductor transformers, and semiconductor circuit breakers. The goal is to establish a high-efficiency power infrastructure that can respond to the expansion of AI data centers and renewable energy.
DC power systems are gaining attention as a key technology for AI data centers, as they reduce energy loss and increase power efficiency by minimizing power conversion steps. LS Electric will handle system design and integration, while Infineon will focus on power semiconductors and power control technologies.
Industry experts anticipate that the expansion of AI data centers will lead to increased global collaboration surrounding power semiconductors and DC distribution technologies.
Through this partnership, LS Electric aims to enhance its competitiveness in core solutions for next-generation DC power infrastructure and accelerate its entry into the global AI data center and future power markets.
“The importance of high-efficiency DC power technology is greater than ever due to the expansion of AI data centers and next-generation power grids,” said Ahn Gil-young, Executive Vice President of Production and R&D at LS Electric. “By collaborating with Infineon, which possesses world-class power semiconductor technology, we will strengthen our competitiveness in core solutions for next-generation DC power infrastructure and strive to become a total solution provider leading the global AI data center and future power market.”
