Power Conversion for Data Centers and Microgrids
BorgWarner delivers AC and DC power conversion solutions for data centers, industrial microgrids and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), enabling resilient deployments through advanced power conversion.
Why Power Conversion Matters
Rapid growth in energy demand is driving a need for distributed energy resources (DER) for microgrids, data centers and BESS that can be deployed quickly, scaled modularly, and operated reliably under dynamic load conditions. At the center of every microgrid is power conversion and distribution. It enables energy flexibility, resilience, and seamless interaction between assets such as generators, batteries, renewables, and utility grids.
Fast deployment for industrial and commercial sites
Bidirectional energy flow to support grid services and energy optimization
Reliable operation under unbalanced, nonlinear, and mission-critical loads
BorgWarner Grid-Tied Inverters
BorgWarner grid-tied inverters are engineered for industrial microgrids, enabling bidirectional power conversion between energy storage, on-site generation, and the grid. Designed for grid-connected, islanded, and hybrid operation, these compact, highly integrated units combine inverter, transformer, cooling (liquid cooling), and control into a single system. Leveraging automotive-grade power electronics and proven thermal architectures, BorgWarner’s advanced inverter technology reduces installation complexity and supply-chain risk while improving power density and reliability for commercial and industrial energy systems.
Bi-directional Microgrid (BMG)
BorgWarner grid-tied inverters provide high-performance DC to AC power conversion with bidirectional capability, enabling seamless integration of energy storage, on-site generation, and utility grids. Designed for rapid microgrid deployment, they support grid-connected, islanded, and hybrid operating modes.
