Power BI Embedded possible with On-premise
I have on-premise web application and SQL Server data source. I would like to Embed Power BI to Web application. No cloud can be used. Is this possible? Is Power BI Report Server needed?
Power BI embedding requires the cloud and the Power BI Service. The on-premises version of Power BI Report Server has no support for Power BI embedding as its developer API is a carry over from SSRS and provides none of the embedding functionality served up by the Power BI Service API.
However, in your scenario you could create an imported Power BI dataset and publish the PBIX report to the Powre BI Service. After that, you could perform the embedding in an on-premises web application. However, you cannot cut out the cloud because your on-premises web app would still be required to authenticate with Azure AD.
The bottom line is no cloud means no Power BI embedding.

You should be able to embed reports from Power BI On-premise by using an iFrame and set the query string parameter rs:embed to true. Example: https://myserver/reports/powerbi/Sales?rs:embed=true
