US Patent 11463011: High Voltage Converter with Switch Modules Parallel Driving a Single Transformer Primary


Distribution


Distribution transformers are the building blocks of the grid. Yet, technology has remained unchanged since Faraday's time. DTs are large/heavy, use hazmat, are unable to manage power quality (e.g., voltage spikes/sags, power factor) nor integrate exploding DC supply and demand.Using off-the-shelf components our we deliver a 2-3x smaller/lighter DT without oils. Plug’n’play and inherently directional, it integrates in/out DC and offers more smart capabilities if needed. Utilities realize savings from Day1 through high power factor and inherent voltage regulation reducing capex/opex, while also cutting on crew costs and increasing safety. No such transformer exists on the market currently.
