Technical Innovations in Inverter Solutions

The smarter E Podcast Episode 216 | May 8, 2025 | Language: English

Strong growth, technological innovations and increasing integration into intelligent energy systems characterise the current situation in the inverter market. Modern inverters are taking on increasingly complex tasks within energy systems. They are no longer responsible for converting direct current into alternating current, but also play a central role in grid stability and energy management. Today, we discussed the inverter market and its demands with Rudy Wodrich, Global Head of the Green Technologies (GT) Business.

In The smarter E podcast, we talk to Rudy Wodrich, Global Head of Green Technologies (GT) at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, about the inverter market, its requirements and innovations.
