Energy & Infrastructure

At Silicon Austria Labs (SAL), we are not just imagining a carbon-neutral future - we are building the electronic backbone to make it a reality. As a leading research center for electronic based systems, we partner with industry leaders to transition away from fossil fuels through the strategic substitution of oil and gas with high-efficiency electrical alternatives.

The following key research topics address the fundamental power-electronic technologies required to enable a highly efficient, resilient, and sustainable energy ecosystem. They span the full spectrum from digital infrastructure and industrial electrification to advanced storage, ultra-fast charging, and renewable energy integration. Together, these themes focus on high-efficiency conversion, intelligent energy management, and grid-compatible solutions that support the transition to a decarbonized, electrified future.

  • DC Data Centers: Optimizing the efficiency of the digital infrastructure that powers AI and the digital world.
  • DC Microgrids: Efficient converters and energy management of various loads and energy sources.
  • Electrification of industrial processes: Power converter for high current application, enabling grid-compatible operation.
  • Industrial Batteries & UPS: Developing high-density storage and Uninterruptible Power Supply systems for 24/7 reliability.
  • MegaWatt Charging: Engineering the next generation of ultra-fast charging infrastructure for heavy-duty fleets and machinery.
  • Solid State Transformers: Seamlessly interconnect renewables, battery storage, and DC micro-grids while providing real-time, bidirectional control over power quality and flow.
  • Green Hydrogen: Integrating electrolysis technology to turn surplus renewable energy into a versatile, sustainable feedstock.
