💡 The ABCs of Amperesand

Amperesand’s Medium Voltage Solid-State Transformer (MV SST) platform enables a seamless transition between different power sources that can work on and off grid.

Their SSTs can regulate voltage and frequency, which ensures a stable and resilient power source. 

• Their solution cuts installation labor needs in half and accelerate the time to power by x10 because of its integrated design.
• Besides AI data centers, the company is also targeting EV charging and grid applications. 

‍

Why their tech matters. In the US alone, data centers consumed 4.4% of electricity in 2023 and are expected to consume up to 12% by 2028. Around the world, the use of AI is skyrocketing, powering the demand for more stable sources of power.
