Solid-State Transformers (SSTs)

Intelligent power electronics replacing traditional magnetic transformers.

BACK TO SUBSTRATE VIEW INTERACTIVE VERSION

Solid-State Transformers replace heavy, passive magnetic cores with high-frequency power electronics. This allows for dynamic voltage regulation, bidirectional power flow (crucial for V2G and renewables), and a significantly smaller physical footprint. SSTs are the 'routers' of the future smart grid, enabling real-time control over power quality and distribution.
