From Ultra-High Voltage to AI Computing Power: High-Voltage Switchgear Enters an Era of "Dual Demands"
Release time:
2026-04-14
Summary
I. Demand 1: Continued Expansion of UHV and EHV Transmission
Multiple countries and regions worldwide are advancing UHV/EHV transmission projects:
• China: Continued construction of UHV projects supports the eastward transmission of clean energy from the west.
• Europe: Cross-border grid interconnection projects require EHV equipment support.
• Middle East and Africa: Construction of large-scale new energy bases drives demand for high-voltage transmission. UHV projects place
higher demands on GIS equipment:
• High voltage levels: 800kV, 1100kV and above
• Large capacity transmission: Single-circuit line transmission capacity can reach 8 million kilowatts
• High reliability: Long-term stable operation, adaptable to extreme weather conditions.
II. Demand 2: AI Computing Power Drives Power Supply System Upgrades
The explosive growth of AI data centers is reshaping the demand structure for power equipment:
| AI Data Center Power Requirements | Impact on high voltage switchgear |
| Single-rack power is increasing to 600kW-1MW | Higher capacity switchgear is required |
| AI clusters can require tens of megawatts of electricity | Data centers require dedicated substations |
| Extremely high power supply reliability requirements | Switchgear must have higher reliability |
| Strict space constraints | The equipment needs to have a more compact structure and better heat dissipation performance |
