The pilot, which begins in mid-2025, aims to enhance electric port equipment and infrastructure by integrating Amperesand\u2019s SST technology into PSA\u2019s fleet of electric prime movers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis initiative with Amperesand aligns with our broader objective of integrating innovative technologies to future-proof our infrastructure,\u201d said Nelson Quek, Regional CEO Southeast Asia, PSA International.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy evaluating solid-state transformer technology at PSA Singapore, we aim to gain strategic insights that could inform our approach to sustainable electrification and operational resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n
High-power charging<\/strong><\/p>\n Amperesand\u2019s SST solution is a key component of the trial, providing high-power charging infrastructure designed for efficient, flexible energy management.<\/p>\n The SST\u2019s silicon carbide (SiC) devices and proprietary high-frequency modules enable optimised power distribution, supporting the growing demand for electric port equipment.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the SST\u2019s bi-directional capability allows for vehicle-to-grid applications, which could significantly reduce grid strain.<\/p>\n PSA\u2019s commitment to port electrification is strengthened by this collaboration, reflecting a broader industry trend towards sustainability in logistics. If successful, this one-year Proof of Value trial could pave the way for wider adoption of SST technology at major ports worldwide.<\/p>\n The initiative also supports PSA\u2019s long-term strategy for port decarbonisation and the efficient management of its electric vehicle charging facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PSA unboXed and Amperesand have joined forces to trial cutting-edge solid-state transformer (SST) technology to support the sustainable electrification of Singapore\u2019s port.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4732,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,46],"tags":[1809,1808,637,196,48,197],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asia-greenport","category-energy-technology-greenport","tag-electric-infrastructure","tag-port-decarbonisation","tag-port-electrification","tag-psa","tag-shorepower-electrification","tag-singapore"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4731"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4731\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4733,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4731\/revisions\/4733"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4731"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
