As energy demand continues increasing across industrial facilities, data centers, and distributed energy networks, power conversion technologies are becoming a critical component of modern energy infrastructure. The growing adoption of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), renewable energy assets, and industrial microgrids is driving demand for solutions capable of managing bidirectional power flow while maintaining grid stability and operational reliability. BorgWarner Power Conversion Solutions showcases BorgWarner’s power conversion portfolio developed for industrial microgrids, energy storage applications, and mission-critical power environments.

At the core of the portfolio are BorgWarner’s grid-tied inverter systems, engineered to provide bidirectional power conversion between energy storage systems, on-site generation assets, and utility grids. The inverter architecture is designed to support grid-connected, islanded, and hybrid operating modes, enabling seamless interaction between batteries, renewable energy sources, generators, and electrical loads. According to the company, the systems integrate inverter, transformer, liquid-cooling, and control functions within a highly integrated platform intended to simplify deployment and system integration.

A major technical focus of the platform is high-performance microgrid operation. The company highlights features including grid-forming capability with droop sharing, bidirectional power flow, galvanic isolation, IEEE 1547 grid-support functions, and operating voltage ranges from 540V to 850V DC. The systems additionally incorporate liquid-cooled power modules, high-frequency transformer architectures, dual isolated DC/DC converters, and BorgWarner’s Viper silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET power modules to improve power density, efficiency, and operational reliability in demanding industrial environments.

BorgWarner also offers its Multilevel High-Speed Inverter (MLI60A), designed for industrial high-speed motors and generators. The inverter supports DC supply voltages up to 800V DC, nominal phase currents up to 60 Arms, stator frequencies reaching 3,000 Hz, and PWM switching frequencies up to 46 kHz. The multilevel architecture introduces an additional voltage level compared to conventional two-level inverter designs, supporting improved waveform quality and motor control performance for industrial applications.

The company positions these power conversion technologies for deployment across industrial manufacturing facilities, commercial campuses, Battery Energy Storage Systems, renewable energy installations, and data centers requiring resilient and scalable power infrastructure. The modular architecture is designed as a pre-integrated power conversion building block that combines critical power, protection, cooling, and control functions, helping accelerate deployment while reducing system complexity.

Built on BorgWarner’s automotive-grade power electronics expertise, the platform leverages technologies originally developed for high-voltage electrification and adapts them to industrial energy systems. By combining bidirectional power conversion, silicon carbide power electronics, liquid-cooled inverter architectures, and grid-forming capabilities, BorgWarner’s power conversion portfolio is designed to support the growing demand for flexible, resilient, and energy-efficient industrial power infrastructure.
