Recently, the DCS Awards 2026 gala evening, an authoritative awards ceremony in the global data center industry, concluded successfully in London, UK. Huawei Digital Power won two prestigious awards, the "Data Centre Power Innovation of the Year" and the "Data Centre Cooling Innovation of the Year", for its technological innovations and practical achievements in data center power supply and thermal management. This sets a new benchmark for high-quality development of the global AI data center (AIDC) industry.
AI is booming worldwide, driving exponential growth in computing power and token demand. Consequently, AIDC construction is accelerating, featuring significant changes in chip, server, and rack power density, as well as campus scale. Massive tokens also pose new requirements on reliable power supply and efficient cooling for AIDC infrastructure. Huawei Digital Power has been committed to fundamental technology R&D, and has re-engineered the power supply, thermal management, operations, and construction mode based on its grid-interactive AIDC strategy. With its industry-leading power supply and thermal management solutions, Huawei Digital Power stood out among nearly 100 enterprises competing in the DCS Awards.
Watt Innovation: Huawei PowerPOD Wins the "Data Centre Power Innovation of the Year" Award
As the power density per rack soars to 100 kW or even MW level in the AI era, electric current increases rapidly, numerous cables and copper are used inside racks, and deployment becomes increasingly complex. To address these challenges, the entire power supply system in AIDC must be transformed.
DCS award "Data Centre Power Innovation of the Year" for Huawei PowerPOD
Huawei has re-engineered the power supply from the power grid to chips and developed the hyper-converged PowerPOD solution—FusionPower9000. This solution delivers one power system with up to 3.2 MW capacity in a single container and can be deployed outdoors, flexibly meeting AIDC requirements for high-density power supply. The PowerPOD was granted the DCS award "Data Centre Power Innovation of the Year" in recognition of Huawei's technological innovation in AIDC power supply.
Huawei FusionPower series
Through engineering productization and modularization, the solution has complex work accomplished in the factory, raising the prefabrication rate to 90%. Devices can be used out of the box after being delivered to the site, shortening the time to market (TTM) from 28 weeks to 18 weeks and enabling fast, high-quality delivery. Additionally, the entire power supply system is visible, manageable, and controllable. More than 150 temperature measurement points are designed to monitor copper bar temperatures in real time. Based on AI temperature prediction, the system issues early warnings for light-load overheating. This enables a transition from passive maintenance to AI-based predictive maintenance, enhancing the overall system reliability.
In Malaysia, Huawei FusionPower9000 was adopted for an AIDC with over 120 kW power per rack. The solution integrates subsystems such as UPS and lithium batteries, and can be rapidly deployed. It reduces the TTM by two months and saves 12.5% of the footprint, setting a new model for high-density power supply of global AIDC.
Heat Innovation: Huawei TMU Wins the "Data Center Cooling Innovation of the Year" Award
In the AI era, upgrading liquid cooling systems has become imperative. When liquid enters servers, the reliability boundary of the data center changes significantly. Coolant leakage or deterioration in any process have a direct impact on server stability. The essence of liquid cooling systems extends beyond heat dissipation; it demands full-link, full-lifecycle safety and reliability.
DCS award "Data Center Cooling Innovation of the Year" for Huawei TMU
Built upon innovations in thermal management from chips to outdoor environments, Huawei has developed the Thermal Management Unit (TMU) for liquid cooling, achieving a technological leap from device reliability to system reliability. Unlike coolant distribution units (CDUs) widely used in the industry, Huawei TMU goes beyond heat exchange and flow distribution. It serves as the hub of the liquid cooling system, ensuring end-to-end high efficiency and reliability. The "Data Centre Cooling Innovation of the Year" award will boost the large-scale deployment of TMU in global AIDC.
Huawei TMU
Huawei TMU uses the unique dual AC/DC power supply architecture to implement 0 ms active/standby power switching, ensuring zero fluctuation in coolant supply, zero temperature rise in servers, and zero interruption in cooling. Its key components (such as the power module, pump, and pump drive) are designed with 2N redundancy and can be hot swapped within 1 minute. A single point of failure has no impact on system operation. Additionally, the expansion tank supports one-click self-check. This eliminates the need for regular shutdown detection, making operations and maintenance easier and more efficient.
The tide of intelligent computing is surging worldwide. Winning these two prestigious global awards is not only a validation from industry authorities, but also a continuous driving force for technological innovation. Looking ahead, Huawei Digital Power will continue to drive innovation in power supply and thermal management, and build a grid-interactive AIDC solution. These advancements will accelerate technological transformation across the industry to maximize tokens per watt and power the AI era forward.
