Hanwha Ocean is moving to enhance the technical completeness of floating data centers (FDCs) by advancing core technologies.
Hanwha Ocean signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation technology, for technological cooperation on power and control systems for floating data centers.
A floating data center is a data center equipped with servers and power and cooling facilities mounted on an offshore floating structure. As the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry drives a surge in data processing demand, it is gaining attention as an alternative to address the constraints on securing land and power for onshore data centers.
Hanwha Ocean will be responsible for the basic design and power system configuration of the floating data center and will establish design standards for LNG engine-based power generation facilities. Based on this, it will review the placement and applicability of major equipment considering the marine environment. ABB will analyze the reliability and power quality of the power system based on Hanwha Ocean's designs and conduct technical reviews to improve operational efficiency.
ABB agreed to cooperate in developing integrated control technology for power generation facilities and power systems, ensuring stable power supply even amid changes in power demand, taking into account the operating environment of floating data centers.
An official from Hanwha Ocean, speaking by phone with this outlet, said, "The most important purpose of the cooperation is to enhance the technical completeness of floating data center solutions suitable for the marine environment through collaboration with ABB."
