At Premium PSU, innovation is never a matter of chance—it’s a repeatable, structured process built on deep customer insight, technical expertise, and strategic collaboration. Under the leadership of CTO Xavier Cabré, we have positioned innovation in power electronics as the engine driving high-value, high-reliability solutions for critical sectors: railway, energy, industrial automation, and data centers.
Listening to the Customer: The foundation of every innovation
Our innovation process begins with a fundamental step: listening actively to our customers, partners, and stakeholders. True innovation in power electronics emerges when we identify real-world challenges and transform them into reliable, efficient, and certified solutions. Our sales and engineering teams act as a bridge—translating market demands into detailed R&D projects, whether this means enhancing existing platforms or developing fully bespoke designs. Many of our patents and new-generation products originate directly from this customer-driven approach.
Market intelligence and technology watch
The power electronics industry evolves rapidly—anticipating change is essential. We maintain a continuous technology watch, monitor global trends, and participate in international trade shows and technical forums. This vigilance covers emerging materials like Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC), regulatory changes, advances in digitalization, and new application requirements for sectors such as e-mobility and smart grids. This allows Premium PSU to quickly adapt its innovation roadmap and guarantee our clients always access the latest, most competitive technology.
Strategic partnerships: Universities, Technology Centers, and European Projects
Collaboration is at the heart of our innovation strategy. Premium PSU maintains strong alliances with top universities (e.g., UPC, CIRCE) and leading technology centers, ensuring knowledge transfer in advanced power conversion topologies, digital control systems, and energy efficiency. Our involvement in European projects (like ALL2GaN) and national programs (such as Misiones, Acció i Nuclis) allows us to test and validate disruptive technologies in real-world conditions, reduce technical risk, and accelerate time-to-market for new solutions.
Collaborative innovation and professional project management
At Premium PSU, innovation extends well beyond the research lab. Our professional project management methodology (PMO) guarantees traceability, operational agility, and on-time delivery while meeting strict regulatory requirements (EN50155, DNV-GL, ISO9001, etc.). Leading companies such as Siemens, Alstom, and Iberdrola trust us for our transparency, detailed progress reporting, and full technical support throughout the product life cycle.
Knowledge sharing and continuous improvement
All the knowledge and expertise gained through our innovation process is systematically transferred across our organization. This enables Premium PSU to update our power electronics product portfolio proactively and ensures that every new application—whether in industrial power conversion, renewable energy, or rail traction—benefits from our accumulated experience. Our multidisciplinary team is fully focused on maximizing value, reliability, and compliance for every client project, reinforcing Premium PSU’s reputation as a leading provider of advanced power conversion solutions.
