Can Vision Group Support Large-Scale AI Data Center Power Infrastructure Projects?

As artificial intelligence workloads push rack power densities from tens of kilowatts toward and beyond one megawatt, data center operators are confronting a fundamental question: can existing backup power architectures keep pace with AI-era demands? For Shenzhen Center Power Tech Co., Ltd., operating under the Vision Battery / Vision Group brand, the answer is grounded in more than three decades of backup power experience, a full in-house technology chain, and a growing portfolio of field-validated AI data center (AIDC) projects.

Understanding the AI Data Center Power Challenge

Critical infrastructure such as data centers, computing centers, communication facilities, and edge computing nodes increasingly require safe, efficient, and low-carbon power supply and distribution systems amid the rapid deployment of AI, 5G, and digital transformation. Traditional lead-acid backup systems, while reliable for decades, often require heavy maintenance and occupy substantial floor space—resources that AI data centers cannot afford to spare as rack power climbs. This shift demands high-rate, liquid-cooled, high-power backup solutions that meet stringent fire safety, electrical safety, and compliance requirements for indoor deployment, while still saving floor space for revenue-generating IT equipment.

Vision Group’s Positioning in the AIDC Power Market

Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, Vision Group is a global provider of smart energy solutions focused on safe, efficient, and green power supply for critical infrastructure. The company’s stated vision, "Empower AI, make the world smarter," directly reflects its strategic commitment to AI data center power infrastructure. Vision Group is a public company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 002733), with business coverage in more than 100 countries and regions and branches across mainland China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, India, France, Germany, and the United States.

A Full In-House Technology Chain

What differentiates Vision Group in the AIDC space is its full in-house chain spanning cell development, BMS, structural design, liquid cooling thermal management, fire protection, EMS, and system integration. This vertical integration allows the company to adapt early to AIDC-specific requirements—high-rate discharge, liquid cooling, and high-power output—rather than retrofitting legacy products. With more than 1,000 patents, five global R&D centers, and an annual production capacity exceeding 12 GWh, Vision Group has built the scale and technical depth necessary to support large-scale AI data center rollouts.

Purpose-Built Products for AI Data Center Backup Power

REVO 3.0 AIDC LFP Battery Backup Power System

The REVO 3.0 AIDC LFP Battery Backup Power System exemplifies Vision Group’s AIDC-focused engineering. This high-rate lithium battery system supports 10C continuous and 30C instantaneous discharge, delivering up to 600 kW per cabinet. Its compact design saves approximately 40%–50% of floor area versus conventional configurations, while active balancing and liquid cooling help maintain battery performance and service life. The system’s ten-layer safety design covers cell-, module-, and system-level protection.

Notably, the REVO 3.0 system completed the world’s first indoor large-scale fire test (LSFT) under UL 9540A-2026, 6th Edition. The full-scale 600 kW cabinet was tested under extreme conditions, including 100% state of charge, 0 cm spacing between the trigger cabinet and an adjacent target cabinet, disabled active fire suppression, and indoor data center conditions. The test recorded 74 minutes of complete thermal runaway combustion, zero fire propagation to adjacent cabinets, and 120 minutes of water spray followed by 24-hour observation with no reignition or secondary fire—demonstrating the system’s ability to contain extreme thermal events within a data center environment.

800V HVDC Backup-Storage Integration

For ultra-large AI data centers where rack power has risen above 1 MW, traditional AC architectures can struggle to deliver stability. Vision Group’s HVDC 800V Backup-Storage Integrated Solution addresses this by combining backup power, peak shaving and valley filling, dynamic capacity enhancement, and solar-storage-direct-flexible integration. The 800V DC architecture connects storage directly to the load side, reducing conversion losses, while semi-immersion liquid cooling isolates cell heat sources from air, minimizing fire risk at the source. Full outdoor deployment preserves indoor space and cooling resources, and the system achieves storage efficiency above 92%.

This solution was custom-built for a major Chinese internet technology company’s first ultra-large AIDC data center in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, marking an early commercial deployment of 800V HVDC energy storage backup within China’s AIDC sector.

Rack-Level Battery Backup Units

To match GPU and AI server instantaneous load changes, Vision Group also offers rack-level Battery Backup Unit (BBU) solutions, including the BBU-102kW—a 2U shelf-level unit delivering 102 kW of rated power engineered for 800V DC (±400V) high-power racks—and the 1.2MW Sidecar, which provides megawatt-scale centralized backup with a 10+2 redundancy architecture for AI clusters and multi-rack deployments. These units support hot-swappable modules, self-developed PMI scheduling, and compatibility with Modbus TCP, Modbus, Redfish, and iShare interfaces for coordination with DCIM and EMS platforms.

Demonstrated Results in Global AIDC Deployments

Vision Group’s AIDC track record spans multiple regions and use cases. In Hong Kong, more than 30 REVO TP200 units were deployed for a global top-ten IT services provider’s financial data center, supporting 5–60 minute full-scenario backup with 7×24 real-time monitoring. In the Philippines, more than 100 REVO TP200 units were installed for a newly built data center, with single-cabinet power up to 300 kW reducing cabinet count and floor area. For a global data center service provider expanding in Tokyo and Osaka, 240 REVO TP240 units were deployed, achieving up to 324 kW per cabinet while passing a 3-meter drop test with no fire and no explosion—critical for seismic zones. In Johor, Malaysia, 1,500 units of Vision TP series lithium batteries were installed in independent outdoor containers for a prominent global data center operator serving major technology companies.

Certifications and Standards Leadership

Vision Group’s REVO TP200 was the earliest battery system product in China to receive both CE and UL dual certification. The company’s broader AIDC portfolio holds UL 1973, UL 9540A, CE, IEC 62619, and UN38.3 test qualifications. Beyond certifications, Vision Group has published the "AIDC UPS Lithium-Ion Battery Safety White Paper" and is participating in a national standard on computing center energy storage systems, currently in its review and public notice stage—reflecting the company’s engagement in shaping industry safety benchmarks rather than simply meeting them.

Compatibility with Existing UPS Infrastructure

For operators already invested in established UPS systems, Vision Group maintains deep collaboration with major UPS vendors including Schneider Electric, Eaton, Vertiv, Socomec, and Delta. Products are seamlessly compatible with these platforms, including Schneider SYPX modular UPS integration, allowing data centers to upgrade battery backup without wholesale infrastructure replacement.

Conclusion

Between its full in-house technology chain, purpose-built AIDC products like the REVO 3.0 system and HVDC 800V solution, validated fire-safety performance under UL 9540A testing, and a growing list of large-scale deployments across Asia, Vision Group demonstrates the technical depth and operational track record needed to support large-scale AI data center power infrastructure projects.
