Solid State Transformers (SST) Market Leading Players Analysis and Application Insights to 2025


19 September 2018: Global Solid State Transformers (SST) Market is expected to grow at a positive CAGR in the estimated period. A solid state transformer is a component comprising a multi-stage power electronics converter isolated having a high frequency transformer. On contrary, classical distribution transformer possess characteristics such as bulkiness, harmful on exposure to external environment, produces large inrush currents owing to core saturation. Whereas, a solid state transformer overcomes all hurdles and offers output compensation, instantaneous voltage regulation, voltage sag compensation, fault isolation, harmonic isolation, DC output, environmental benefit and metering or advanced distribution automation.


The need to manufacture solid state transformers rose due to need for conversion of AC to AC step-up or step-down with some functions identical to that of a conventional transformer. Simply put, the disadvantages offered by conventional transformer are overcome by a solid state transformer and a more relevant and precise output can be achieved. Also, it has the capacity to work as energy router for smart grid energy internet. Hence, the field of application of power electronic based solid state transformer is not limited upto only distribution level.
