EPI Previews Upcoming White Paper on Power Trends, Challenges, and Solutions for AI Based Data Centers, with Significant Contributions from Huawei

Oct 08, 2025

[Singapore, October 8, 2025] EPI has announced the upcoming release of its comprehensive white paper titled, "Power Trends, Challenges, and Solutions for AI Based Data Centers," developed with significant contributions from Huawei. This pivotal document addresses the critical infrastructure challenges posed by the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution and outlines the outdoor Prefabricated Power Train Unit (PTU) as the cornerstone solution for building the next generation of AI-optimized data centers.

The white paper identifies four core requirements where traditional power systems fall short for AI workloads: ultimate reliability to protect high-value AI training clusters; support for surging power densities exceeding 50kW per rack; infrastructure flexibility to adapt to rapidly iterating GPU technology; and radically fast deployment to counter rapid asset depreciation. It highlights the particular challenge of AI's "sawtooth" power load—millisecond-scale, megawatt-level fluctuations that can overwhelm conventional UPS, transformers, and diesel generators.

Edward van Leent, Chairman & CEO of EPI Group of Companies mentioned, "The intelligent computing era demands a fundamental reconstruction of the power supply architecture. The traditional model is too slow, too inefficient, and too rigid for AI, this white paper provided a clear roadmap, demonstrating how the outdoor PTU, through engineering productization and modularity, delivers the reliability, agility, and sustainability that AI data centers require to thrive."

The solution detailed in the white paper, the outdoor PTU, is a fully integrated system that encapsulates the entire low-voltage power distribution, UPS, lithium battery backup, cooling, and firefighting within a single, factory-prefabricated container. This approach transforms complex on-site construction into a simple, plug-and-play deployment, slashing project timelines by up to 50%. Furthermore, its modular intelligence enables proactive maintenance and optimal energy efficiency, directly addressing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and decarbonization goals.

The white paper will be officially launched in regional markets across Asia-Pacific at the end of October 2025. Stay tuned for more details on the upcoming release.
