Data centers are the largest contributors to increasing electricity demand, which is putting pressure on US power grids. The rise of AI data centers has led to increased investment in solid-state power transformers, which modernize power electronics and replace outdated transformer technology. Traditional transformers, designed in the 1880s, are hand-assembled and cannot be mass-produced, leading to long wait times for utility companies needing new transformers. This situation complicates efforts to upgrade power infrastructure and replace aging transformers.
