The SSTAR consortium is pleased to welcome you to the Final Event of the project.
Register here!
The SSTAR Final Event marks a transition point for power system innovation, shifting the focus from technological development to system integration and future deployment of solid-state transformers in medium-voltage DC grids.
Organised by the SSTAR consortium, the Final Event will showcase the project’s key results, achievements and insights gained throughout its duration, while providing a platform for exchange and forward-looking discussion on the next steps for the sector.
The event brings together invited experts from industry, grid operation, policy and society to look beyond technical performance and address real-world adoption, sustainability objectives and the role of SSTs in shaping the next phase of grid innovation.
The event will be held in a hybrid format.
