Samsung SDI wins innovation award at Smarter E Europe
Samsung SDI on Wednesday announced its reception of the innovation award at The Smarter E Europe 2025, the region's largest energy exhibition, making it the only South Korean company to be honored at this year's event. The battery maker's new U8A1 high-power Uninterruptible Power Supply product and thermal propagation prevention technology received the Smarter E Award, which selects companies with the best innovation across five categories: energy storage, e-mobility, solar power, smart energy and distinguished energy projects. At this year's expo, among the 14 products and technologies awarded, Samsung SDI stood out as the only company to win in multiple categories. The U8A1 delivers emergency power during blackouts or other unexpected incidents at data centers, and stabilizes power quality during demand surges. Per battery rack, it improves power output by over 40 percent compared to existing products, enhancing space efficiency. The product can handle large power demands of artificial intelligence data centers with fewer units, reducing the space required to install the UPS by approximately 33 percent. Its long lifespan also allows data centers to save on operating costs. The company's thermal propagation prevention technology prevents fire starting in a specific battery cell from spreading to adjacent cells. Based on its thermal propagation prediction program, it applied the most suitable safety materials between the cells as well as a gas release vent to enable heat to exit the vehicle, effectively preventing battery explosions in electric vehicles. 'It is highly notable that our battery technology received recognition from Europe's leading energy exhibition,' stated a Samsung SDI official. 'We will continue our efforts to target global markets, including Europe, with our innovative technologies.' In addition to The Smarter E Europe 2025, which runs Wednesday to Friday, Samsung SDI will be showcasing its top innovations at 2025 InterBattery Europe, hosted by the Korea Battery Industry Association, during the same period.

Samsung SDI to showcase next-gen battery tech for AI data centers at InterBattery Europe
Korean battery-maker says its optimized solution guarantees high performance, maximum safety Samsung SDI will look to capture global attention with a full-size uninterruptible power supply -- or UPS -- system made for artificial intelligence data centers at InterBattery Europe 2025 in Munich this week, as the battery-maker showcases a wide range of next-generation products, the company said Tuesday. According to Samsung SDI, the UPS is equipped with its new battery, the U8A1, which boasts higher power output to reduce the required installation space by about 33 percent in comparison to previous models. As a UPS system is developed to supply emergency power to AI data centers during an outage, Samsung SDI highlighted that its UPS system presents itself as an optimized solution for AI data centers with high performance and maximum safety. Samsung SDI will also showcase its SBB 1.5, energy storage system -- or ESS -- batteries installed in a 20-foot container featuring battery cells, modules, racks, safety devices and a ventilation system, at the exhibition. The company said the SBB 1.5 offers enhanced safety due to its Enhanced Direct Injection -- or EDI -- technology that can extinguish fires in the modules. The Korean battery-maker plans to highlight the competitiveness of its prismatic batteries tailored to suit electric vehicles and ESS. Along with that, the company will emphasize its advanced safety technology called "No Thermal Propagation," which prevents heat from proliferating between cells by using multiple integrated safety devices. 'At InterBattery Europe 2025, Samsung SDI will showcase innovative and safety-enhanced products, including next-generation batteries optimized for the AI era,' said a Samsung SDI official. 'The company will continue to lead the market with advanced battery technologies.' Marking its third edition, InterBattery Europe 2025 will run from Wednesday to Friday at Messe Munich.

Samsung SDI to showcase energy storage innovations at InterBattery Europe
Korean battery maker Samsung SDI announced Monday that it will participate in InterBattery Europe 2025, to be held in Munich, Germany, as part of its effort to strengthen its presence in the region's rapidly growing energy storage market. The exhibition, a part of Europe's largest energy industry gathering, The Smarter E Europe, will host around 200 companies and run from June 7 to 9. As Europe's data center energy demand is projected to triple between 2024 and 2030, Samsung SDI plans to showcase products designed to deliver stable power to the facilities, alongside its latest battery innovations. 'Samsung SDI will showcase its portfolio of energy storage system batteries optimized for a wide range of customer applications at the exhibition,' said a Samsung SDI official. 'Visitors will be able to get a glimpse of how Samsung SDI's energy storage system batteries are connected to everyday life.' At the event, Samsung SDI will publicly unveil its uninterruptible power supply system, the U8A1. According to the company, the U8A1 is designed to supply power to data centers during outages, featuring ultra-high power output and high power density, while occupying minimal space. The U8A1 has also been selected as a finalist for The Smarter E Award, which recognizes top innovations showcased during the exhibition, making Samsung SDI the only Korean battery-maker waiting for the award this year. The company will also highlight the Samsung Battery Box 1.5, which was previously displayed at InterBattery Seoul 2025 in March. Shaped like a 20-foot-long container, the energy storage solution is equipped with an advanced fire suppression system that injects extinguishing material directly into overheating cells, offering enhanced safety, the company said.
