World’s first 22.9kV solid-state transformer developed to electrify US data centers
SMRTR summary
South Korean company Hyosung Heavy Industries has developed the world's first 22.9kV solid-state transformer (SST), designed to handle the massive power demands of US data centers. Unlike traditional transformers, SSTs use power semiconductors to actively control electricity, offering tighter voltage management and better grid stability. With global SST demand projected to grow over 40% annually, Hyosung is pushing toward commercialization while expanding manufacturing inside the United States.
