Application-wise, renewable power generation segment to grow at highest rate from 2024 to 2030" The growth of the renewable power generation segment of the  Solid-State Transformer Market  can be attributed to the expected early adoption of these transformers for power generation from wind, solar, and tidal energy. Wind, sun, and tides are alternative sources of energy for power generation; they have the potential to cater to the ever-increasing global requirement of energy, along with reducing the carbon footprint. Wind energy is a key contributor to the power generated from the alternative sources of energy, while APAC is a leader in this field. A typical wind energy farm has an induction generator coupled with a wind turbine to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. The energy generated is further transferred by a step-up transformer to STATCOMs. It is then fed to a grid. The step-up transformer increases the voltage level, while the STATCOM improves the power fact...
