Hillcrest Energy Technologies says development of its ZVS PCS1000 grid power conversion system remains on track, with a 200 kW, 1000V inverter prototype slated for customer and partner demonstrations in June 2026 at its Vancouver facility and at Systematec GmbH’s site in Germany. Built on the company’s proprietary Zero Voltage Switching platform, the PCS1000 targets stationary and grid-connected uses with peak conversion efficiency above 99%, reduced electromagnetic interference, compact passive components and a modular architecture that can scale to 1.2 MW. The prototype is being designed to align with the Open Compute Project’s 800V data center sidecar power architecture championed by major technology companies, positioning Hillcrest to serve high-density AI data center power needs with high-efficiency, low-EMI AC-DC conversion. In addition, compatibility with UL1741 grid-interconnection standards is intended to ease deployment across North American distributed energy resources, and the planned demonstration program has already attracted interest from prospective customers and strategic partners in data centers, energy storage and other grid-connected markets.
