Data centers become “killer application” for new power transformer tech

“It’s kind of this one magic box that eliminates a lot of the infrastructure and also provides one control location that eliminates a lot of the interoperability challenges that you may see in a traditional data center, where various components within the data center are trying to regulate the same thing,” said Srdjan Lukic, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at North Carolina State University. “Now you have one conversion stage outside the data hall and then you just go straight to the rack.”

From “killer application” to mass adoption

Data centers have become the “killer application for solid-state transformers right now,” Lukic told Ars. Several US companies,
