Performance Analysis of a Solid State Transformer for Smart Grid

Abstract:

Solid State Transformer (SST) has many attractive characteristics, including power quality improvement and reactive power compensation. The paper investigates the topology and control schemes of SST, and discusses its flexibility and reliability for both grid and customers. A model of SST applied for distribution network is constructed, and simulation shows the SST with appropriate control scheme can provide excellent power supply during both steady-state and dynamic-state with varying load.
