Project Background & Client Requirements
Data Center Market Trends: Malaysia is actively developing its digital economy, with data centers serving as a crucial component of “new infrastructure,” essential for enhancing regional data processing and storage capabilities. The Johor region, in particular, has become a hotspot for data center investments.
Epoch Data Center Project Overview: The Epoch Data Center is a large-scale data center project located in Johor, Malaysia. Data center equipment must operate 24/7, maintaining constant temperature and humidity year-round, placing stringent demands on power supply quality and reliability. To meet its high-load electricity needs, a dedicated 275kV GIS substation was necessary.
SH Power’s Solution
Core Equipment Provided:
275kV main transformers: Forming the core power conversion units of the substation.
275kV GIS: Utilizing a compact design to save space while providing reliable power distribution and protection.
33kV medium-voltage switchgear: Responsible for distributing power to the data center loads.
Technical Highlights:
GIS Technology Advantages: The fully enclosed GIS equipment offers high reliability, small footprint, and minimal environmental impact, making it ideally suited for data centers’ extreme requirements for space and reliability.
Rapid Delivery & Installation: The project team, through careful coordination, overcame complex on-site conditions and completed installation and commissioning of all equipment within 45 days, ensuring the project was operational on schedule.
Project Value & Outcomes
Value to Epoch Data Center:
