“…There are several drivers behind Solid State Transformer (SST) concept, all largely dependent on the application where these conversion structures are envisioned. Reduction of volume and weight, together with improvement in efficiency are driving the research efforts in railway domain, as discussed in [2] and demonstrated with 1.2 MW prototype in [3], [4]. On the other hand, utility three-phase applications are mostly motivated by advanced control features and flexible power flow, as recently demonstrated with 0.5 MVA prototype [5].…”

Abstract-This paper describes a novel, model based, design optimization methodology for high-power medium frequency transformers for medium-voltage high-power electronic applications, namely emerging solid state transformers. Presented procedure enables the designer to interactively select the most optimal design in a simple and intuitive way, while inherently offering flexibility in terms of various design alternatives, depending on the component availability. The core of the design algorithm is explained in detail together with all of the relevant modeling and technical challenges associated with realization of a prototype. A 100 kW, 10 kHz medium frequency transformer prototype has been designed according to the presented algorithm, practically realized and thoroughly tested in order to verify the theoretical design.

“…The basic module of the DC/DC stage is based on an isolated DC/DC converter, implemented normally using the Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter [13], or the Series Resonant Converter (SRC) [14]. An additional approach is the use of multiwinding-based topologies, such as the quadruple active bridge (QAB) [15] as a basic cell.…”

“…This function that was usually performed with a line frequency transformer now has to be performed by means of some sort of power electronics converter. High power DC-DC converters are not yet a widely available industrial technology, despite large research efforts directed in this area, also including the, so called, power electronic transformer [20].…”

Abstract-Marine high-power on-board electrical systems are predominantly utilizing three-phase medium voltage alternating current (MVAC) distribution. Depending on the size and purpose of the ship, on-board electrical systems provide supply to loads in excess of 60MW. Increasingly, medium voltage direct current (MVDC) distribution systems are being considered as an alternative. An increase in the fuel efficiency of the prime movers, the removal of bulky low frequency transformer and the easier integration of different storage technologies are especially attractive. This paper discusses the opportunities but also the technical difficulties associated with the transition from an MVAC to an MVDC system, using an existing LNG tanker MVAC on-board distribution system, as example.
