Volex Power is developing a solid-state transformer (SST) that will replace existing power transformers. Using power electronics, Volex power SST provides flexibility and fast dynamic response and will be a major contributor to the stability of the future power grid. Using remote communication, it will be able to inject locally needed reactive power and will even be able to reduce harmonics, in addition to its normal operation as a power transformer.
Volex Power was founded in 2016 with a seed investment from the Israeli Electric Company and Tel Aviv University. Our product transforms conventional, passive, distribution transformers into a smart device, which contributes to grid stability and resilience.
Moreover, our technology facilitates a great increase of the percentage of distributed generation and renewable energy acceptable by the grid. This is attained by real-time optimizing the voltage at many points in the distribution grid.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 815489
