Analysis of Solid State Transformer based microgrid system

Abstract

The contribution of this paper has been focused on investigating a new microgrid architecture that integrates the electronic transformer (SST, the acronym Solid State Transformer) with microgrids system. The design of the converters required for implementation of the electronic transformer are dealt. The work to provide an infrastructure for creating an intelligent energy system, which will enable the integration of smart grid concepts, microrrede generation distribute and distribution of direct current. The advantages of SST, listed the reduction of the volume and weight as well as fault isolation capability, voltage regulation, harmonic filtering, reactive power compensation and power factor correction. The work presents the advantages of applying the SST in a microgrid system. Therefore, simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink software are presented.
