It’s no secret that the electrical grid is aging, but one part stands out from the rest. Transformers haven’t changed much since Thomas Edison made his first light bulb. Now, a string of startups are ...

Transformers have been the backbone of power grids for over a century, but today’s demands for renewable energy, electric vehicles, and smarter grids are exposing their limits. Enter solid-state ...

Startup Hyperscale Power is developing technology that promises to shrink power transformers, freeing up precious space within data centers.

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. The rapid buildout of fast-charging stations for electric vehicles is testing the limits of today’s ...

Solid-state transformers ready to enable the Smart Grid? The term solid-state transformer (SST) is something of a misnomer because it is not a transformer in the traditional sense. It is a collection ...

Renewables are booming, but without modernising grids, clean power risks going nowhere. Solid-State Transformers help networks handle fast, decentralised electricity flows. Without them, experts warn, ...

Solid state transformers (SSTs) represent a transformative shift in power electronics, replacing conventional electromagnetic transformers with semiconductor-based devices that offer enhanced ...
