“We want to get rid of the dumb line frequency transformers. We want to move into more intelligent systems based on semiconductors.” Dr. Peter Friedrichs, ellow SiC Innovation and Industrialization, Infineon Technologies At APEC 2026, Infineon Technologies presented a broad view of the power chain required to support AI infrastructure, from grid-level energy storage and […]
solid-state transformer
What is a solid-state transformer?
A solid-state transformer (SST) is an AC-AC converter, sometimes called a power electronics transformer (PET), that replaces a conventional magnetic transformer in applications like green energy systems, cloud data centers, EV fast chargers, and smart grid infrastructure. They are smaller and lighter than conventional transformers and can support better power quality, higher energy efficiency, and […]
