“…Thus, it is essential to design fault safety on a SSS system to achieve fast fault clearance and quick system restarts. Some papers address the protection issue, the applicability of various control system strategies, and potential developments in protecting SSS systems from short circuits and other faults [36][37][38]42,43,45,[50][51][52]60,61,[63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][72][73][74]78,80]. Such fault issues are likely to increase among researchers because of the need for a reliable and secure control system (fault protection system) that provides increased fault protec-tion while decreasing risk and costs [42].…”

Recently, the development and controls of solid-state switching have gained significant popularity over the years especially in academic research. The development of control strategies in solid state switching applications to ensure fast switching in a protected distribution system has fueled a great deal of investigation and further developments. Therefore, a critical review and analysis in the field of solid-state switching for distribution systems are provided in this article. The Scopus database is used to compile a list of the most cited published papers in the field of solid-state switching control methods based on the identified criteria. The study explores 120 of the most cited articles emphasizing six keywords such as a solid-state breaker, solid-state transfer switch, static transfer switch, automatic transfer switch, automatic protection switches, and solid-state protection switch. The analysis was conducted using the Scopus database in the fourth week of January 2021. The 120 articles were collected from 24 different journals and 27 different countries. It is reported that 78% of the published papers outline the methodology based on control and test systems whereas 22% of articles are based on review surveys. From that, 73% of articles concentrate on the protection strategy in the system. The main objective of the article is to classify and define the highly cited published articles in the field of solid-state switching control methods as well as to provide direction for future research on fast switching in the distribution system. The analysis also highlights various factors, issues, challenges, and difficulties to identify the existing limitations and research gaps. This review will serve to strengthen the development concepts of solid-state switching control methods towards achieving improved operational performance, energy-saving, economic prosperity, and enhanced power quality. The authors believe that this bibliometric evaluation will allow academic researchers to identify opportunities for growth in the solid-state switching industry.

“…different principles. Various proposals can be traced back in literature, relying on different operating principles [12], [13]: i) Interrupting, in which the DC bus current is interrupted upon opening of the device [14]- [17]; ii) Limiting, that allows current freewheeling gradually dissipating inductive energy [11], [18]; iii) Resistive, where current is redirected into a capacitor and energy is discharged in an ad hoc resistor [19]; iv) Resonant, in which the interruption is achieved through a capacitive discharge creating an artificial current zero [20]- [22].…”

Recent trends in shipboard power distribution network design, such as the transition from AC to DC result in new challenges on the issue of distribution network protection. Devices such as a solid state bus tie switch provide a first line of defence against propagation of low impedance faults across the distribution system by quickly separating the faulty portion of the network and preventing additional energy to be fed into the fault. This paper proposes a new topology of solid state bustie switch for shipboard power distribution networks. The topology is thoroughly described considering its operating principles, and a small scale prototype has been used to verify its operational performances. Current interruption capabilities are demonstrated, both in open loop and closed loop operation, with fault detection and decision algorithms implemented on a standalone controller.
