The SSTAR project is transforming energy distribution by delivering tangible innovations that enhance the efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability of power grids. Through advanced transformer design, eco-friendly insulation materials, and intelligent control systems, SSTAR strengthens both the performance and resilience of modern grids.

Key Achievements

• High-Voltage SST Prototype – Development of a Medium Frequency Ttransformer with superior voltage isolation and thermal management.

• Biobased Dielectric Fluids – Pilot-scale production of a biodegradable insulation fluid, fully validated to international standards, offering a safer, greener alternative to conventional transformer oils.

• Decentralized Converter Control – Implementation of an advanced and scalable grid converter, enabling scalability of the control for high voltage applications and balancing serialized converters.

These milestones represent a significant step forward in creating smarter and more sustainable energy infrastructures.

To share these results with the wider community, SSTAR has released a new brochure showcasing the project’s breakthroughs and their impact on the future of energy distribution.

The brochure is now available for download here.
