Solid-State Transformers

The Next Evolution in AI Data Centre Power Infrastructure, Utility Power Grids and Electrification

Join this webinar to explore how solid-state transformers (SSTs) can help meet the rising power demands of AI data centres—while enabling fast, energy-efficient and flexible power electronics systems for other high-growth sectors—creating a major market opportunity for the UK.

AI data centres, Net Zero targets, electrification, renewable energy and demand for more flexible power infrastructure are increasing pressure on the electricity grid.

SSTs combine advanced power electronics and compound semiconductors to deliver compact, intelligent and efficient power conversion—supporting real-time voltage regulation and power-quality control, bidirectional power flow, integration with renewable energy and storage, and DC distribution. These capabilities are critical for high-density AI data centres, as well as ultra-rapid EV charging, smart grids and rail electrification.

Hosted by Jerome Perrier, business development manager (power electronics), with insights from Dr Tanuj Singh, senior technical writer, and Usman Nasir, senior power electronics engineer at CSA Catapult, this webinar will highlight how the UK is well positioned to lead SST development and deployment, modernise the grid, and unlock high-growth value for the UK’s semiconductor and power electronics supply chain.

Why you should attend:

• Understand where solid-state transformers can unlock high-growth, including AI data centre power infrastructure, as well as energy, transport and wider infrastructure.
• Learn how SSTs can help industry tackle grid constraints and deliver fast-to-deploy, energy-efficient and flexible power systems—supporting power quality, redundancy and future DC architectures for AI data centres.

• Hear CSA Catapult’s insights on how customers can use SSTs to improve products, accelerate deployment into AI data centre and grid applications, and take advantage of emerging market opportunities.
