Power Electronics

WiTricity develops wireless electric power components to enable wireless power transfer over distance using magnetic resonance.

Smart Wires solutions provide the first highly intelligent “valve” for transmission grids. Smart Wires designs and manufactures advanced power flow control solutions that dynamically increase or decrease line reactance. With these tools, utilities can push power away from congested lines on to underutilized paths and unlock the excess capacity that exists on their networks today. These solutions install quickly and can be easily relocated, providing the flexibility needed in today’s uncertain landscape. With Smart Wires, utilities can actively dispatch transmission lines, just like generation or load, and create a dynamic grid.

Apparent Energy focuses on the development and research of charge controllers and other electrical components.

Varentec designs and develops power electronics-based Smart Grid control solutions for municipal, cooperatives and investor-owned utilities.

Gridco manufactures and delivers in-line power regulators, regulating transformers and other power management products for electric utilities.
