Solar & Storage Live Malaysia 2026 - Day 1 @ 16:20
Case study: Hydrobattery powering AI data centre 24/7 in Tasik Kenyir
By attending this session, you will gain insights into:
- Hydrobattery Powering AI Data Centers: Closed-Loop Hydro Integration: Discover the technical architecture of using Tasik Kenyir’s unique geography to create a "hydrobattery" (Pumped Storage Hydropower), providing a stable, high-capacity energy reservoir that mitigates the intermittency of other renewable sources at a Capex 10 times lower than Lithium-ion Batteries.
- Decoupling AI Growth from Carbon: Learn how the 24/7 high-load demands of AI data centers—notoriously energy-intensive—can be met without relying on fossil fuel baseloads, establishing a blueprint for carbon-neutral "Green AI" hubs in Southeast Asia.
- Operational Resilience & Efficiency: Examine the specific engineering challenges and solutions involved in maintaining sub-millisecond power stability required by sensitive GPU clusters using gravity-based storage.
- ASEAN Strategic Integration: Understand how this facility serves as a critical buffer for mitigating data center spillover from Singapore, while providing essential grid balancing and price arbitrage services to strengthen the ASEAN Power Grid.
