Amperesand's power infrastructure solution enables the integration of all types of renewable power generation into both existing and future electrical grids. Thanks to its proprietary solid-state transformer (SST) technology, the system natively provides grid-level management solutions, such as energy and data management, bidirectional flow, mixed AC/DC loads, all in a more efficient and flexible solution. Amperesand's modular SST approach to grid electrification uses a fraction of the raw material used in traditional transformers and provides a significant reduction in GHG over their operational lifecycle.
