/PRZWT/From concept to large-scale application, AI is shifting from a "technology craze" to a "practical in-depth cultivation" stage. Its energy consumption curve has sharply increased with load density, and the power supply and distribution system is thus the first to face the triple constraints of "safety, efficiency, and cost". Today, at the 2025 Data Center Standards Conference (CDCC), Schneider Electric made a grand debut with its new generation of modular and high-performance three-phase UPS - Galaxy PX, breaking the power supply challenges in the development of intelligent computing.
Forecast data shows that by 2030, global power demand for data centers will increase by 160%, and China's electricity consumption for data centers is expected to exceed 400 billion kilowatt-hours, making it the world's largest electricity market for data centers. In addition, the power density of AI cabinets is advancing from 30 kW per cabinet to 100 kW per cabinet. This undoubtedly drives the power supply and distribution system to provide higher power and better power within a limited space, and to respond in real time to the sharp fluctuations of AI workloads. The new generation of Galaxy PX UPS that made its debut this time is led in research and development and design by the Schneider Electric China team. With the three-dimensional advantages of "safety without worry, efficiency without loss, and intelligent computing without boundaries", it is fully adapted to various AI scenario applications. While minimizing the input of space and resources, it offers greater flexibility and adaptability. Provide safe and reliable power support for the current operation and future development of enterprises, thereby comprehensively assisting the intelligent computing industry to take a solid step forward.
Facing the high-density and highly fluctuating characteristics of AI workloads, Schneider Electric Galaxy PX UPS can adapt to a 30-150% power step within 50 milliseconds. With just one step away, you can envision the future and ensure the continuous operation of your business with strong adaptability and resilience support. The Galaxy PX UPS is equipped with the Live Swap function that has been certified by the industry authority. It can maximize the safety of operators and load devices, build a full-chain safety and full life cycle guarantee for enterprises, and consolidate the position of safety with "one step". Secondly, with its compact architecture design, the Galaxy PX UPS occupies an area of only 0.6 square meters, and the power density of a single module reaches 67 kW/3U, which can fully meet the safety regulations for small sizes and save 20-50% of the space compared with traditional solutions. The product offers two operation modes. In the double transformation mode, the overall efficiency of the machine is 97.5%, and in the E-transformation mode, the system efficiency can reach up to 99%. With just one step, it achieves the dual values of high efficiency and energy conservation as well as sustainable development.
The technological evolution of UPS is no longer merely an upgrade in power load protection; it is a microcosm and key driving force of the energy transformation in the intelligent computing industry. The debut of the new generation of Galaxy PX UPS demonstrates Schneider Electric's profound brand accumulation and local R&D strength, and will also lead the UPS industry into a brand-new development stage. Looking to the future, Schneider Electric will continue to write a new energy paradigm in the era of intelligent computing through technological innovation. With safer, more efficient and adaptable power guarantees, it will consolidate the "power foundation" of intelligent computing centers and help AI move from "usable" to "user-friendly" and "widely applicable".
