“…In this equipment, by means of power electronic devices and various control methods, some services will be accessible in the network such as voltage regulation, power factor correction, reactive power compensation, active power control, LVDC link availability for renewable energy, high power quality, energy storage support, etc. 65 Also, in traditional transformers, the concept of power flow is considered unidirectional, which means that the power flow takes place only from the network to consumers. While, due to the high SST flexibility, energy distribution in a smart environment will lead to a new approach and the power transmission is flow from the network to consumers and vice versa.…”

“…Among this equipment that can help improve the quality of network power is solid-state transformers. [65][66][67][103][104][105] 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.…”

The development of power systems and the move to smart grid have increased the need for new technologies. In this regard, solid-state transformers have been proposed as a suitable alternative to conventional transformers. Solidstate transformers are among the equipment based on power electronic converters that in addition to better performance than conventional transformers provide a variety of other services. In this article, the concept and types of solid-state transformer topologies and configurations and their applications, especially in smart grid, are investigated. 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.
