Driving Smarter Energy for Data Centers
Honeywell is joining forces with LS Electric to deliver AI-driven power management solutions for data centers. Together, they aim to help operators better manage rising energy demand through advanced automation and intelligent control systems.
Both companies are creating hardware and software that simplify how data centers handle power. They plan to combine Honeywell’s AI platform, Forge, with LS Electric’s automation expertise to enhance visibility and optimize power distribution.
AI Meets Energy Efficiency
The collaboration focuses on new electrical power monitoring systems powered by Honeywell Forge. These systems will enable operators to balance energy consumption and capacity more efficiently.
According to Honeywell, data centers already consume between 1% and 2% of global electricity. With demand surging, the need for smarter power management has never been greater.
Battery Energy Storage for Greater Resilience
To address growing energy challenges, Honeywell and LS Electric are developing modular Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). These systems will help organizations deploy microgrids, improving resilience and managing demand during peak periods.
The modular design will merge LS Electric’s proven storage technology with Honeywell’s dynamic energy control software. Together, they will forecast the best power source and cost using real-time utility, weather, and risk data.
Responding to Growing Energy Pressures
Industry data shows U.S. data centers face longer power connection wait times—now averaging four years. During that period, electricity costs have surged by nearly 30%, according to JLL.
“Through our collaboration with Honeywell, we will deliver solutions that enable big tech data centers and large buildings to achieve both energy efficiency and reliability,” said JongWoo Kim, president of LS Electric Power Electric.
Building the Future of Energy-Intelligent Infrastructure
As data centers expand, Honeywell and LS Electric are positioning themselves at the forefront of sustainable, intelligent power management. Their joint innovation promises to redefine how operators manage energy in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
