Samsung SDI announced on the 10th that it will receive an Innovation Award in the "Enterprise Tech" category at CES 2027, the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition to be held in Las Vegas, USA, next January, for its prismatic battery solution designed for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
A UPS is a system that supplies emergency power to critical facilities such as data centers when unexpected power outages occur. Recently, with the surge in power demand from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, it has gained attention as essential equipment for ensuring stable power supply.
The 'SDI U8A3-UPS,' which received this Innovation Award, is a product that applies prismatic battery cells made of LMO (lithium manganate) material. It achieves ultra-high output and high energy density, improving space efficiency by 33% compared to existing products. Stable power supply is possible even with a small number of batteries. Additionally, it has the advantage of being able to prevent server failures or data corruption by supplying auxiliary power when power demand spikes sharply during AI computing processes.
Fire safety has also been enhanced. This product became the first in the world to meet all evaluation criteria in a large-scale indoor fire test recently conducted under the supervision of UL Solutions, a global safety certification body.
Since its initial entry at CES 2025, Samsung SDI has solidified its global technological leadership by winning the Innovation Award for three consecutive years. Last year, its ultra-high output cylindrical battery 'SDI 25U-Power' received the Best of Innovation Award, and its thermal runaway prevention technology 'No TP' won an Innovation Award.
A Samsung SDI official stated, "This award is a result of recognizing the innovativeness of core power solutions for the AI era," adding, "Going forward, we will lead the market with products that combine the performance and safety required by customers."
