AVK has unveiled its new modular PowerPod, a fully integrated, pre-engineered power solution that combines critical electrical infrastructure into one transportable, factory-tested unit. AVK PowerPods are designed to help data centres scale. Larger, higher-capacity projects are becoming necessary to cater to the increase in demand for AI and hyperscale data centres, and the ready-to-deploy model facilitates this industry growth.
AVK PowerPods provide the critical electrical infrastructure that safely delivers power to data centre equipment. Including transformers, switchgear, batteries, UPS (uninterruptible power supply), circuit breakers, cooling integration, control panels, fire suppression equipment, and distribution boards, AVK PowerPods are containerised units – pre-engineered and fully-integrated.
AVK PowerPods are tailored precisely to your data centre’s requirements, delivering as much or little integrated infrastructure as your project needs.
A typical PowerPod can be configured to provide a complete electrical power train from incoming medium voltage (MV) supply through to low voltage (LV) distribution, ready for connection to downstream sub-distribution boards and PDUs supporting critical IT loads.
For example, an incoming medium voltage supply can enter the PowerPod directly to a Ring Main Unit (RMU) or MV switchgear assembly. From there, power is stepped down to low voltage via a transformer and distributed through the low voltage switchboard. Essential loads are supported through a dedicated UPS system with associated battery autonomy, ensuring resilient and continuous power to critical equipment.
The PowerPod can then deliver power directly to the data centre or be further enhanced with static transfer switches and/or automatic transfer switches creating a fully integrated and deployment-ready solution.
Beyond electrical distribution, AVK PowerPods can also incorporate direct expansion or chilled water cooling, fire detection and suppression, controls, Building Management System (BMS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. This makes them a true one-stop modular infrastructure solution for data centre projects.
By integrating key systems within a prefabricated, factory-tested pod, AVK PowerPods help reduce on-site construction time, simplify project co-ordination, improve quality control, and accelerate deployment supporting faster, more efficient modular data centre builds.
