Abstract

The conventional transformer in power infrastructure should be capable of meeting the demand for the load. The conventional transformer is structured and designed to handle high power. Also, the overload capacity of conventional transformers depends on the highest temperature and short-term overload. This paper represents the construction and working of the solid-state transformer which consists of AC to DC and DC to AC conversion which has low overload capability as compared to conventional transformers. Solid-state transformer finding applications in Solar and wind power generation electric vehicle battery management systems because of high-frequency operation, which is not possible in case of conventional transformers also smart transformer, provides flexible control of electric power distribution.

Keywords

AC to DC converter, Conventional transformer, DC to AC converter, High-frequency magnetics, Solid state transformer.
