In a significant leap toward safer and more efficient power infrastructure, ETICA Battery, Inc. has launched a groundbreaking HVDC-based integrated energy solution tailored for AI data centers and high-energy industries. The innovation was unveiled at Energy Taiwan 2025 (Booth I0425), marking a milestone in the company’s mission to create a “zero-risk energy world.”
The new system combines UPS and BBU architectures with ETICA’s patented LiquidShield™ immersion cooling technology, developed in collaboration with Shell. The technology uses biodegradable, dielectric liquids that are fire ignition–resistant, ensuring exceptional thermal safety, higher energy efficiency, and longer battery lifespan — key to managing the soaring energy demands of AI-driven computing.
“Safety is not an added feature; it is the core of our technology and mission,” said Gavin Wang, Founder and Chairman of ETICA Battery. “By integrating Shell’s advanced dielectric liquids and our immersion technology, we’re redefining energy reliability and sustainability for the data era.”
Revolutionizing Data-Center Power with HVDC Integration
As AI computing workloads surge, traditional power systems are struggling to meet performance and safety requirements. ETICA’s HVDC-based integrated power architecture directly connects battery modules to high-voltage DC networks, minimizing conversion losses and improving response speed during outages or fluctuations.
Unlike conventional setups, ETICA’s model enables complementary operation between UPS and ESS — with the UPS providing millisecond-level protection and the ESS delivering two to eight hours of uninterrupted backup. The system has already achieved over 286 MWh of total installations across Taiwan and Japan, including projects in telecom base stations and industrial facilities.
Safety, Stability, and Scalability for the AI Era
ETICA’s LiquidShield™ system prevents thermal runaway by instantly dissipating heat through immersion in Shell’s high fire-point ester liquid. The company’s battery systems are certified under UL 9540 and NFPA 855, reinforcing its global leadership in battery safety.
The solution’s multi-layer protection structure — integrating UPS, ESS, EMS, and BMS — ensures stable, scalable, and sustainable power supply for mission-critical environments such as AI data centers, hospitals, telecom networks, and manufacturing plants.
Driving Taiwan’s Net-Zero and Energy-Resilient Future
Aligned with Taiwan’s 2050 Net-Zero goals, ETICA is collaborating with renewable-energy developers to integrate safe storage and green-power systems. The company’s efforts strengthen grid resilience while accelerating the adoption of clean energy.
“With Taiwan as our innovation hub, we are expanding to the U.S., Japan, Southeast Asia, and Saudi Arabia,” Wang added. “Our goal is to set a new global benchmark for safe and sustainable energy storage — Made in Taiwan, Trusted Worldwide.”
