Abstract

With the widespread use of solar energy, the grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems based on solid state transformer (SST) have considerable prospect. This paper presents the design and demonstration of a three-phase 800-V/10-kV 1-MW SST for grid-connected PV system. The topology of the 10-kV/1-MW SST is designed as a modular structure containing the dual active bridge (DAB) converter and full bridge converter. The optimal design of high power density converter utilizing SiC devices is analyzed. The hierarchical control strategy is developed on the multi-layer controller, DSP + FPGA. The functions of this 10-kV/1-MW SST are verified through the prototype and the experiment results are shown in this paper.
