1. Cén é an Solid-State Transformer (SST)?

1.1 Bunús agus Meideanna na n-Transformers Coitianta

Bíonn an t-alt seo ar dtús ag athbhreithniú ar stair (mar shampla, patéin Stanley 1886) agus bunús na gtransformers coitianta. Tá transformers traidisiúnta bunaithe ar luchtachta elechtromagntach, agus iad sastar de chroíte silicín stail, windings cupra nó alaimin, agus córais folaíochta/cooling (oil mianach nó dry-type). Oibríonn siad ag fréimeacha teoranta (50/60 Hz nó 16⅔ Hz), le rátai teoranta athraithe voltag, cumas trasnála cumhachta, agus carachtarais fréimeacha.

Buntáistí na n-transformers coitianta:

• Cost is ísle

• Ullmhacht ard (efficiency >99%)

• Cumasaíocht teoranta ar thacar corra

Mheidhni ina measc:

• Méid mhór agus brúchaint

• Seisfhearrach do harmonics agus DC bias

• Gan cosaint roinnt

• Riscaí tine agus comhshaoil

1.2 Fógraíocht agus Tairseach Solid-State Transformers

Is é an Solid-State Transformer (SST) aisteoir chun transformers coitianta bunaithe ar theicneolaíocht cumhachta electronics, lena tairseach a bhfeiceálann siar go "electronic transformer" McMurray 1968. Níos mó ná athrú voltag agus galvanic isolation trí staid Medium-Frequency (MF) isolation, cuireann SSTs roinnt feidhmeanna rialú intleachtach ar fáil freisin.

Struchtúr bunnúsach an SST ina measc:

• Comhghuaillí Medium-Voltage (MV)

• Staid Medium-Frequency (MF) isolation

• Línte cumarsáide agus rialú

2. Dúshláin Dearaidh SSTs

2.1 Dúshlán: Measta Medium Voltage (MV)

Iarmhíreanna medium-voltage (mar shampla, 10 kV) faoi bhántacht reatha díolaimí semiconductor (Si IGBTs suas go 6.5 kV, SiC MOSFETs ~10–15 kV). Mar sin, ní mianach teip gearrtha (modular) nó aon chell (high-voltage device).

Buntáistí réiteach multi-cell:

• Diseart modúil agus duiltheach

• Foirmníocht multi-level, laghdú forbartha scagthaca

• Tacaíocht hot-swapping agus fault tolerance

Buntáistí réiteach single-cell:

• Struchtúr níos símplí

• Oiriúnach do chórais three-phase

2.2 Dúshlán: Roghchlár Topology

Is féidir topologies SST a chategorise mar:

• Isolated Front-End (IFE): Isolation roimh rectification

• Isolated Back-End (IBE): Rectification roimh isolation

• Matrix converter type: Direct AC-AC conversion

• Modular Multilevel Converter (M2LC)

2.3 Dúshlán: Ullmhacht

Tá transformers coitianta an-ullmha, ach tá SSTs le líon mór semiconductors, circuits rialú, agus córais cool, ag déanamh den ullmhacht ábhar tábhachtach. Introduces Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) agus failure rate (λ in FIT) models, léiríonn sé go díolann redundancy go mór ar shástacht an chórais.

2.4 Dúshlán: Medium-Frequency Isolated Power Converters

Topologies coitianta ina measc:

• Dual Active Bridge (DAB): Power flow controlled via phase shift, enabling soft switching

• Half-Cycle Discontinuous Mode Series Resonant Converter (HC-DCM SRC): Achieves ZCS/ZVS, exhibiting "DC transformer" characteristics

2.5 Dúshlán: Dearadh Medium-Frequency Transformer

Oibríonn medium-frequency transformers ag fréimeacha kHz, ag déanamh dúshláin mar:

• Méid níos lú croí magntach

• Confict idir insulation agus thermal management

• Distribúid neamhionrach current in Litz wire

2.6 Dúshlán: Coordination Isolation

Níos airde insulation to ground required for medium-voltage units, necessitating consideration of:

• Combined 50 Hz power frequency and medium-frequency electric field stress

• Dielectric losses and risk of localized overheating

2.7 Dúshlán: Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Common-mode currents generated during MV switching can flow to ground through parasitic capacitance and must be suppressed using common-mode chokes.

2.8 Dúshlán: Cosaint

Tá ar SSTs a dhéanamh overvoltage, overcurrent, lightning strikes, agus short circuits. Tá fuses traidisiúnta agus surge arresters fós oiriúnach, ach ba chóir iad a chomhbhaint le strategaí electronic current limiting agus energy absorption.

2.9 Dúshlán: Rialú

Tá córais rialú SST casta agus níos mór riachtanas struchtúr hierarchach:

• Rialú seachtrach: Grid interaction, power dispatch

• Rialú isteach: Voltage/current regulation, redundancy management

• Rialú unit-level: Modulation and protection

2.10 Dúshlán: Tógáil Modular Converters

Tógáil córais modular MV práctacha involves:

• Dearadh insulation

• Córais cool

• Cumarsáid agus auxiliary power

• Struchtúr meicniúil agus tacaíocht hot-swappable

2.11 Dúshlán: Testeáil Converters MV

Tá córais test MV casta agus níos mór riachtanas:

• High-voltage, high-power sources/loads

• Equipment measúnachta high-precision (e.g., high-voltage differential probes)

• Backup test strategies (e.g., back-to-back testing)

3. Feidhmiúlacht agus Cásúsaí Úsáide SSTs

3.1 Grid Applications

Is féidir SSTs a úsáid sa grid le haghaidh:

• Rialú voltag agus reactive power compensation

• Harmonic filtering agus improvement quality power

• Integration interface DC (e.g., energy storage, photovoltaics)

Ach, in ainneoin transformers Line Frequency (LFTs) coitianta, tá "efficiency challenge" ag SSTs:

• Efficiency LFT can reach 98.7%

• SSTs typically achieve only ~96.3% due to multi-stage conversion

• Limited reduction in size and weight (~2.6 m³ vs. 3.4 m³)

• Significantly higher cost (>52.7k USD vs. 11.3k USD)

3.2 Traction Applications

Tá cúrsaí traction (e.g., electric locomotives) le riachtanais casta maidir le méid, brúchaint, agus efficiency, áit a bhfuil SSTs ag tabhairt buntáistí soiléir:

• Significantly reduced transformer size through higher operating frequencies (e.g., 20 kHz)

• Dual optimization of efficiency and volume reduction

3.3 DC-DC Applications

In DC systems (e.g., offshore wind power collection, data centers), SSTs are the only viable isolation solution, as their operating frequency can be freely chosen without being constrained by grid frequency.
