ABB Motors and Generators Showcase at 2026 Shanghai International Data Center Exhibition: Enabling Low-Carbon and Stable Operation of Computing Infrastructure Across All Dimensions

2026-06-07

From June 3rd to 5th, the 2026 Shanghai International Data Center Exhibition was successfully held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. ABB, a century-old company with deep expertise in electrical drives and power generation, participated in the exhibition with a comprehensive range of motors and generators for computing scenarios. Focusing on the core theme of "Enabling the Stable Operation of Computing Infrastructure," ABB showcased efficient, reliable, and low-carbon products and a one-stop service system adapted to all data center scenarios, precisely addressing the core needs of high reliability, low energy consumption, and easy maintenance in current computing infrastructure.

I. Comprehensive Coverage of Core Exhibits, Adapting to All Data Center Application Scenarios

 At this exhibition, ABB focused on core power and cooling systems for data centers, bringing customized one-stop solutions that comprehensively cover key application scenarios such as chillers, chilled water pumps, cooling water pumps, AHU/MAU air handling units, cooling towers, and standby generator sets. The company also showcased three core products: ABB NMG generators for data centers, ABB IE5 LV Titanium VSM permanent magnet inverters, and ABB Baldor-Reliance direct drive motors.

This complete product portfolio specifically addresses industry pain points, effectively handling the high energy loads of data centers, significantly reducing the risk of sudden power outages, simplifying daily equipment maintenance, and perfectly supporting future expansion and upgrades of data centers, providing core hardware support for the continuous and stable operation of computing infrastructure.

II. Solid Technological Foundation: Building a High-Reliability and High-Efficiency Barrier

Based on a century of electrical technology accumulation and over sixty years of mature insulation technology, ABB motors and generators achieve industry-leading performance parameters, with product energy efficiency reaching 99.13% and a power factor consistently maintained at 0.9. Their market-proven quality makes them a core support for continuous data center operation.

Yang Wenguang, Head of the High-Power Products Business Unit for ABB Motion Control in Asia and China, stated that ABB's mature product portfolio can minimize data center service interruptions and ensure continuous business operation. In the future, the brand will continue to deepen its involvement in the computing infrastructure field, using lean technology solutions to help the industry build a clean, low-carbon, efficient, and high-quality computing ecosystem.

III. Focusing on Energy Consumption Pain Points and Precisely Solving the Challenges of Cost Reduction and Carbon Reduction in Data Centers

Cooling systems are the core of energy consumption in data centers and a key breakthrough point for energy conservation and carbon reduction. According to statistics from the International Energy Agency, data center cooling systems account for 40% of total energy consumption, a proportion comparable to that of servers. The energy efficiency of cooling equipment directly determines the operating costs and carbon emission levels of data centers.

Xiao Ping, Head of IEC Low-Voltage Motors Business at ABB Motion Controls Division in China and Asia, pointed out that motors, as core components for data center cooling and power supply, are the cornerstone of continuous data center operation. Optimizing the energy efficiency of cooling system motors is a core measure for data center operators to reduce operating costs, implement dual-carbon policies, and achieve green development, and it is also a core direction for ABB product iteration.

IV. Following Industry Trends and Adapting to New Market Demands in the Computing Power Industry

With the continued advancement of China's "15th Five-Year Plan" in building a digital China and promoting intelligent digitalization, coupled with the rapid development of AI computing power, the industry's current situation of drastic load fluctuations, and the in-depth implementation of national dual-carbon goals, the needs of domestic data center customers are undergoing profound changes. The industry's development focus has shifted from basic infrastructure construction to refined needs such as PUE compliance management, simplified operation and maintenance costs, and stable operation of equipment under long-term extreme conditions.

Zhang Jiangang, Head of Marketing and Sales for the Motors and Generators Business Unit of ABB's Motion Control Business Unit in China, stated that the current market demands higher standards for energy efficiency optimization of data center cooling systems and stable output capabilities of backup generators in extreme environments. ABB accurately captures industry transformation trends, iterates product performance accordingly, and comprehensively adapts to the core needs of data centers in the AI computing power era, including power supply security, energy saving and carbon reduction, and long-term operation and maintenance.

V. Deeply Connecting with Customers and Strengthening Industry Cooperation and Service Ecosystem

During the exhibition, the ABB booth attracted numerous industry partners and end customers to visit and engage in in-depth discussions and exchanges. This exhibition was led by the core management team of ABB's Motion Control Business Unit. Yang Wenguang, Xiao Ping, and other leaders personally accompanied customers on a tour of the full range of exhibits, providing detailed explanations of product technological advantages, scenario-specific solutions, and the entire lifecycle service system. They also engaged in in-depth discussions on industry pain points and customized cooperation plans, further deepening partnerships with government and enterprise stakeholders and industry partners.

VI. Comprehensive Product Portfolio, Empowering Green and High-Quality Development Across Multiple Industries

This exhibition fully demonstrated ABB's comprehensive strength in the field of motors and generators. As a century-old brand, ABB boasts a complete product matrix, covering a full range of products including IEC low-voltage motors, high-power industrial motors, special generators, NEMA motors, servo motors, and traction motors, meeting the power and generation equipment needs of all industries.

For a long time, ABB has adhered to a sustainable development strategy, focusing on integrated solutions, digital operation and maintenance services, and full lifecycle technical support. This not only helps upgrade data center computing infrastructure to a green and low-carbon level but also widely empowers numerous industries such as shipbuilding, ports, power, petrochemicals, and food and beverage.
