By combining LS Electric’s expertise in power systems with Honeywell’s leadership in building automation and controls, data centre operators will be able to seamlessly integrate critical power distribution with broader building management functions, such as ensuring load is aligned to capacity, to improve resiliency.
The two companies will begin by selling joint products, offering data centre operators integrated switchgear and power management to control and distribute the power that helps keep critical systems running without interruption. The partnership anticipates developing new electrical power monitoring systems based on Honeywell Forge, a platform with AI functions, and LS Electric’s expertise and software capabilities. The resulting systems are being designed to regulate energy distribution and consumption while also leveraging AI-driven predictive maintenance to help identify potential issues early to reduce power quality issues and costly downtime.
Beyond power management and controls integration, the companies will also collaborate on a new grid and building-aware Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for commercial and industrial buildings. To meet the increasing load on the grid, the end-to-end solution will create microgrids in critical buildings and industrial facilities, offering a practical alternative to help improve resiliency and manage demand. This new modular BESS solution plans to integrate LS Electric’s energy storage capabilities with Honeywell’s dynamic energy control software to help forecast the best source and cost based on utility data, weather and other risks.
Speaking in this regard, Billal Hammoud, President and CEO, Honeywell Building Automation, said, “Our collaboration with LS Electric supports our continued focus on delivering smarter and scalable solutions for the world’s most critical industries. As the global demand for data and energy accelerates, this partnership with LS Electric combines our complementary strengths to distribute intelligent infrastructure that’s not only resilient and efficient, but also future-ready. Together, we’re unlocking possibilities that will help our customers stay ahead in a landscape being rapidly reshaped by AI.”
Data centres currently consume one to two percent of global electricity production, and that is expected to grow dramatically. With this partnership, Honeywell will be a one-stop supplier for building automation controls and power and electrical products, allowing data centres to be more efficient with energy use and storage.
JongWoo Kim, President, LS Electric Power Electric, said, “Building on our accumulated expertise in power infrastructure and energy storage systems, we are accelerating our global expansion into the data centre and commercial and industrial building markets, including North America. Through our collaboration with Honeywell, we will deliver differentiated solutions that enable big tech data centres and large building operators to achieve both energy efficiency and reliability.”
