Lotus Wi-fi Applied sciences (LWT) India, in collaboration with the Austrian Institute of Expertise (AIT), has developed India’s first commercial-scale Medium Voltage Stable State Transformer (SST) expertise. The innovation goals to help functions comparable to megawatt-scale medium voltage enter superfast chargers for electrical automobiles (EVs). The breakthrough is poised to remodel EV charging from hours to minutes.
Expertise demonstration and inauguration
LWT demonstrated the SST expertise at their Autonagar, Aganampudi plant just lately. Dr. Friederich Kupzog, Head of Power at AIT, Vienna, inaugurated the Energy Electronics (PE) lab. Dr. Kupzog emphasised the importance of the expertise, stated: “This collaborative success highlights the synergy between India’s detailed engineering and mass manufacturing capabilities and Austria’s progressive experience, advancing transformative and sustainable vitality applied sciences globally.”
The inauguration occasion was additionally attended by Dr Kaushik Basu, energy electronics knowledgeable from the Indian Institute of Science, and Binu S. Pillai, Director R&D, LWT.
Talking in regards to the innovation, Dr Kaushik Basu stated: “This marks the start of medium-voltage Stable State Transformer improvement within the nation. It is a superb instance of leveraging world partnerships between institutes and trade to create indigenous capabilities in superior applied sciences.”
“The medium-voltage-based solid-state transformer collectively developed addresses the worldwide demand for environment friendly, scalable options in quick charging, marine electrification, and aviation techniques. It additionally displays our dedication to make-in-India world-class options that drive sustainable vitality transitions,” Binu S. Pillai, Director R&D, LWT, added.
