Voltage Limitations of Power Semiconductor Devices in Solid-State Transformers (SST)

One of the core challenges of solid-state transformers (SST) is that the voltage withstand capability of individual power semiconductor devices is far from sufficient to directly handle the voltage levels of medium-voltage distribution networks (such as 10kV). Addressing this voltage limitation is not reliant on a single technology, but rather a set of “combinations“. The … Read more
