Power Innovations International Joins Current/OS Partner Network

Power Innovations International (Pii), a player in modular power electronics and DC power infrastructure, today announced it has joined the Current/OS Foundation, reinforcing its commitment to advancing the adoption of Direct Current microgrids and supporting industry efforts to establish standards for the next generation of energy systems.

As electrification accelerates across transportation, data centers, industrial facilities, airports, and distributed energy applications, direct current (DC) is becoming an increasingly important foundation for modern power systems. Current/OS is committed to addressing the challenge of defining and implementing standards for designing, deploying, and operating DC systems at scale by bringing together technology leaders dedicated to creating the frameworks and best practices needed to accelerate DC adoption. 

Power Innovations’ Portfolio

Power Innovations International’s portfolio spans power electronics ranging from individual converter modules to complete DC power systems, including its Tower of Power (ToP) platform. The Pii Tower of Power enables organizations to build highly efficient DC-coupled microgrids that integrate energy storage, renewable generation, EV charging, and critical loads while reducing unnecessary power conversion stages.

“Direct current is becoming an increasingly important part of how we generate, store, distribute, and consume energy,” said Nick Stone, Head of Product at Power Innovations International. “Current/OS is bringing together organizations that recognize the need for common standards and interoperability across DC systems. We’re excited to support that mission and contribute our experience building power electronics and DC-coupled infrastructure that help make DC microgrids practical, scalable, and efficient.“

Insights from Current/OS

“Current/OS is bringing together companies that are building the future of Direct Current from complementary perspectives. Pii’sexpertise in modular DC power electronics and integrated energy systems adds important capabilities to the ecosystem and reinforces our shared commitment to accelerating interoperable DC through open collaboration,” said Vincenzo Salmeri, President of Current/OS.

Pii’s technology portfolio includes modular power electronics, DC-coupled energy systems, bidirectional charging platforms, distributed energy infrastructure, microgrid solutions, and EV charging technologies such as their EVDC charger, which can directly leverage DC power sources within a broader DC ecosystem to provide level 3 EV charging.
