SemiTechnic is aiming to become a leader in providing power semiconductor devices and systems in Canada providing essential components of power systems in various industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, healthcare, agriculture, construction, maritime, telecommunications, etc.

The demand for electricity has prompted the utilization of numerous renewable energy sources, large-scale storage technologies, diesel generators, and natural gas generators to create local grids called microgrids. Depending on the size and infrastructure of the microgrid, it can either power a small community on its own or connect to the utility grid and distribute power to a large area. When consumers have access to more than one power source, it is important that power sources are transitioned seamlessly to ensure reliable, uninterrupted power.

Fluctuations, sags, surges, or other disruptions will adversely affect the normal operation of the connected units, causing damage to the equipment and resulting in financial loss. The power semiconductor devices are essential in facilitating the seamless transition between power sources as well as the operation of power systems in general. They are widely used in electrical generation, transmission, and distribution systems and have reduced electrical losses while reducing the cost and size of the power systems significantly.

The microgrid market is growing rapidly, with an estimated $42.3 billion market based on MarketsandMarkets™. At SemiTechnic, we provide our clients with a range of engineering, design, installation, and maintenance services. In the past few years, we’ve partnered with many OEMs and technology companies to complete numerous large-scale and small-scale projects.
