Hyperscale Power's Transformer Tech

Hyperscale Power's solid-state transformers aim to replace traditional, bulky power equipment in data centers, freeing up valuable space for more servers and GPUs. Traditional transformers can occupy 15-20% of a data center's footprint. The company's technology promises to reduce the physical footprint of power infrastructure. The startup's solid-state transformers use power electronics instead of the traditional electromagnetic induction. This allows the devices to be smaller, more efficient, and offer better power quality. One of Hyperscale Power's co-founders built a solid-state transformer with 99.1% efficiency while completing his PhD at ETH Zurich. Hyperscale Power has received €5 million in funding from World Fund and Vsquared Ventures. This investment signals investor confidence in hardware solutions addressing AI infrastructure constraints. The company is betting that rethinking century-old electrical technology could unlock billions in infrastructure capacity.
