Delta Electronics (Singapore) Sign MOU with the College of Design and Engineering at NUS to Advance Sustainable Data Center Innovation

Delta Electronics (Singapore) today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the College of Design and Engineering (CDE) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) to explore the development of advanced technologies for next-generation sustainable data centers. The three-year collaboration, which will leverage the capabilities and facilities of the Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed (STDCT) 2.0 led by NUS, aims to focus on smart energy systems integration, advanced thermal management, and the use of modular infrastructure for challenging tropical environments.



PS Tang, General Manager, Delta Electronics (Singapore), said, “Data centers have become the backbone of our digital future, evolving into AI factories that drive innovation and connectivity. Yet, they also represent one of the most energy-intensive infrastructures. This collaboration with NUS, in which we aim to push the boundaries of design and technology for sustainable, modular, and intelligent data centers, reflects Delta’s long-term commitment to innovation and our vision for a smarter, greener future.”

“The partnership with Delta provides our researchers and students with an excellent opportunity to translate academic discoveries into impactful industrial applications,” said Professor Silvija Gradecak, Vice Dean (Research and Technology), CDE at NUS.

Professor Lee Poh Seng, Head of Mechanical Engineering at CDE at NUS and Programme Director of STDCT 2.0, added, “By leveraging NUS’ expertise in thermal systems, energy technologies, and digital design, we look forward to creating scalable solutions that contribute to Singapore’s sustainability goals.”

The partners will also explore integrating Delta’s autonomous inspection robots into data centers to enhance safety, real-time monitoring, and predictive maintenance.

The collaboration also echoes Delta’s support to Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 and Smart Nation goals for resilient, sustainable digital infrastructure.
