Smart transformers, also known as solid-state transformers (SSTs), represent a significant advancement over traditional transformers. Unlike conventional transformers, which use electromagnetic principles to transfer energy between circuits, smart transformers utilize power electronics to achieve the same goal.
Adaptive Load Management: One of the most significant benefits of smart transformers is their ability to manage loads adaptively. By adjusting their operation based on real-time load data, smart transformers can optimize energy distribution, reduce losses, and improve overall grid efficiency.
Smart transformers can increase the power flow flexibility by enabling the correct meshed-hybrid grid operations, as long as load mission and power generation profiles are known. Those profile are generally driven by heterogeneous, highly sparse and often incomplete data that belong to different domains.
Studies show that the various characteristics of solid-state transformers have led to much consideration as potential transformers in smart grid applications, the integration of distributed generation sources, modern traction systems, and so on.
In general, various control methods are used in solid-state transformers, which can also improve power quality problems. In Reference 106, a new model for solid-state transformers is proposed; one of its advantages is better power factor correction and voltage regulation.
Encompassed in a smart transformer context, the contextualization of the conceivable arrangements of solid-state transformers, and the various configurations of smart hybrid transformers, are evaluated from the point of view of offering advantages of improved efficiency and power quality.
