The use of power electronics is increasing in the industry for both low-scale applications like chargers for batteries and LED drivers and high-scale applications like photovoltaic (PV) systems and ...

Solid-state transformers ready to enable the Smart Grid? The term solid-state transformer (SST) is something of a misnomer because it is not a transformer in the traditional sense. It is a collection ...

Solid state transformers (SSTs) represent a transformative shift in power electronics, replacing conventional electromagnetic transformers with semiconductor-based devices that offer enhanced ...

Solid-state transformers are expected to find their applications across a broad spectrum of industries such as renewable power integration, smart grid, electric vehicle charging stations, traction ...

Renewables are booming, but without modernising grids, clean power risks going nowhere. Solid-State Transformers help networks handle fast, decentralised electricity flows. Without them, experts warn, ...

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. The rapid buildout of fast-charging stations for electric vehicles is testing the limits of today’s ...
