Transforming Power.
Smart transformers at the edge. AI coordination across the system.
Unlock radically efficient, adaptable, resilient power in data centers and grids.
The digital age has transformed everything – except the infrastructure powering it.
The building blocks of our power systems haven’t changed in 130+ years. This escalates issues that cause inefficiencies and threaten uptime.
A myriad of technologies try to treat these symptoms in isolation.
At IONATE, we decided to fix the cause.
We're building the hardware-software backbone for the smart grid.
Upgrade the base
with the HIT
The most efficient transformer using solid-state technology.
IONATE's Hybrid Intelligent Transformer (HIT) does what SSTs promised - precision power flow control and real-time data visibility - without the cost, bulk, or fragility. The HIT is ready up to 36 KV applications today.
Orchestrate in real-time
with Aurora
System-level optimization for efficiency and resilience.
One HIT is powerful. A network is transformational. Our Aurora Neuralis platform connects each intelligent node to create a distributed control layer across your entire system. The result: lightning-fast power flow management.
What the experts say
IONATE is building intelligent hybrid transformers to replace ageing grid hardware and optimize for efficiency and resilience at a system level.

"Technical challenges prevented solid state transformers from achieving cost and thermal performance targets, as well as ease of integration with legacy assets. Hybrid solutions, such as that being tested in Portugal by IONATE [...] are having more success with addressing supply-chain and bankability risks".
International Energy Agency
"A front-runner in the new generation of hybrid transformers."
Cleantech Global Top 100 to Watch
"It's clear IONATE is onto something big.”
Wired
“[IONATE's solution] will have a super transformative effect with the Distribution Network Operator, where they haven’t benefited from innovation for a long time.”
Global EnergyTech Awards
"Groundbreaking innovation."
UK Energy Innovation Centre's Future Energy System Award
“The IONATE Hybrid Intelligent Transformer has the potential to be a game-changer, replacing conventional passive transformers with state-of-the-art real-time control nodes."
