Why do we need a transformer in a power system?

In general, in the power system, traditional transformers are used to step up/step down the voltage. But these transformers do not have the ability to compensate for voltage sag and swell, reactive power, fault isolation, and so on. But with SST we will be able to overcome these drawbacks.

How intelligent transformers work?

It should be noted that intelligent transformers by applying telecommunication links constantly monitor the grid, and in case of any disturbance in the grid, immediately operates in islanding mode, thus ensuring the continuity of load service, which will increase the reliability, stability, and efficiency of the system.

Why do we need a solid-state transformer?

Because the solid-state transformer (SST) can solve these problems in the distribution network not only by facilitating controlled bi-directional distribution of active and reactive powers, but also can provide a robust DC bus to isolate the disturbance on both sides of the transformer. 2

Can solid-state transformers be used in smart grid applications?

Studies show that the various characteristics of solid-state transformers have led to much consideration as potential transformers in smart grid applications, the integration of distributed generation sources, modern traction systems, and so on.

How does a high frequency transformer reduce volume and weight?

Reduction of volume and weight due to its high-frequency transformer. The size of the transformer is inversely proportional to its frequency. The output of SST can be in different frequencies and phases different from the input. It is possible to have DC line as input or output.

How to control power flow in a high-frequency transformer?

Another simple method is the phase shift control method. In this method, a phase shift is applied between the primary and secondary voltages of the high-frequency transformer (HFT). This provides a simple method to control the magnitude and direction of power flow in the system.
