LS Cable & System is accelerating its entry into the artificial intelligence data center (AIDC) infrastructure market by leveraging superconducting technology.
On September 1, LS Cable & System announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for joint business cooperation with the AI Factory Frontier (AFF) consortium, which includes five companies specializing in graphics processing units (GPU), power equipment, cooling, architecture, and business development.
The AFF consortium aims to propose integrated solutions to operators by linking the various solutions of its member companies related to AIDC. Participating companies include Naewoo Architects, Aswell AI, Enfield P&D, Woojin Electric, and Iljin E&S.
LS Cable & System plans to assess customer power demands and site conditions from the project's initial stages to identify business opportunities. The company envisions a comprehensive proposal for power and communication infrastructure solutions, utilizing superconducting systems for external power networks and bus ducts and optical cables for internal setups.
The superconducting system can transmit large amounts of power at a high voltage level of 154kV using only a medium voltage of 23kV. This approach allows for the use of existing substations without the need for new construction, thereby reducing installation space and costs.
Member companies of the consortium will also support the overall construction of AIDC based on their respective expertise. Naewoo Architects will handle architectural design, Aswell AI will provide GPU and AI infrastructure platforms, and Woojin Electric will be responsible for power equipment installation. Enfield P&D and Iljin E&S will manage business development and cooling and renewable energy facilities, respectively.
