State of the art of active power electronic transformers for smart grids

Abstract: The idea of power electronic transformer is known already over 20 years. There are numerous papers written about power electronic transformers. In the literature one can find tens on different topologies, control methods, standards, requirements etc. It is easy to loose insight what topology to use and where. In this paper a general overview of the power electronic transformer technology in terms of smart grids is presented. The information collected from the literature is classified and organized. In conclusi… Show more

“…The idea of using SSTs as an interface between the MV grid and a microgrid based on local RES generation is not new [35]. In Reference [36], one of the promoted features of this architecture was related to control capabilities of the power flow exchange.…”

“…In recent years, solid‐state transformer (SST), a type of converter, has been highlighted as an enabling technology for a modernisation of the AC–DC hybrid distribution system in the context of a forecasted increase of renewable energy in‐feed [7–9]. Compared to the conventional voltage/current source converters and low‐frequency transformers, SSTs have several advantages such as compensation or generation of reactive power, accessible DC port for the direct connection of battery storage or other DC‐based loads and generation devices, dynamic voltage control, possibility for emulating inertia, and active limitation of fault currents among which fast and accurate voltage regulation is the most prominent feature.…”

“…This paper proposes a novel bi-directional DC/DC converter topology that consists of the quazi-Z-source network, dual active bridge and a high frequency transformer. A possible application of such converter is the isolation stage of the new power electronic transformer (PET) topology where the power flow control capability between two different voltage buses and high efficiency are the major requirements [1][2][3]. In general, the power flow through the transformer can be controlled by means of voltage elevation on one side or by applying a phase shift control of the inverter bridges on both sides of the transformer.…”
