NCPRE participated as an exhibitor at PCIM Asia New Delhi
2025, a premier international platform for power
electronics, engaging with industry leaders, academic
researchers, and technology innovators shaping the future
of advanced power conversion systems.
The exhibition
served as an important forum to showcase ongoing research
activities and exchange perspectives on emerging trends and
challenges in power electronics. At the event, NCPRE
presented its Solid-State Transformer (SST) module, rated at
2 kV and implemented using 3.3 kV silicon carbide (SiC)
power MOSFET’s.
The adoption of wide-bandgap SiC
technology enables high-voltage operation, improved
efficiency, high power density, and enhanced thermal
performance, making the SST suitable for next-generation
medium-voltage applications. The SST follows a modular
design approach, with each module rated at 13.33 kW,
offering advantages such as scalability, ease of maintenance,
and flexibility in system configuration. By electrically
stacking 15 identical modules, the design aims to realize the
first 200 kW SST prototype, providing a clear pathway
toward high-power, medium-voltage solid-state transformer
systems.
