What Solid State Transformers Mean for Data Centers

Rich MillerHOST
Maybe give us an overview of solid-state transformers themselves and the problems they solve and how they're different and can do a few more things than the traditional transformers.

Haroon InamGUEST
Traditional transformers, basically a hunk of iron with copper wound around it, it's a massive amount of transformers installed globally.

Haroon InamGUEST
But just like transportation, transformers, right? You could have a little scooter.

Rich MillerHOST
So what are the advantages of the multiport approach? What are some examples of ways that's useful?

Nicolas BontiguiHOST
So just for the audience that's not maybe that familiar with Digimetrics and the multiport solutions, how do your solutions work and how do you take like different inputs, different voltages, different frequencies?

Haroon InamGUEST
So one of the things that I did back in 2011 to 2013 when I was working for an SST company is we were developing an SST, a solid state transformer, to do AC conversion to AC conversion.

Haroon InamGUEST
But we realized after two years of work and spending millions and millions of dollars that that was probably one of the dumbest things we could have done.

Haroon InamGUEST
Why? It's because you're taking a hunk of iron and a hunk of copper wound around it with some insulation that's going to last 40, 50 years, you know, and it's going to last in heat and it's going to last in thermal cycles.

So is there stuff beyond that? the current generation of systems, if you push this out 10, 15 years, where you think SSTs would be able to be more capable of handling the future load at the end of a 15-year lifecycle for the data center facility itself that was built to handle those chips?
