Global Solid State Transformer (SST) in Electric Locomotive Market
- Report Code: SO 1008
- Publish Date: Upcoming
The Solid State (Smart) Transformer market is currently in an introductory phase, but in a couple of years, it is expected to experience high growth due to its advantages. Solid state transformer has a capability to operate at higher frequency range. Its physical size and weight ratio to the legacy transformer is more than 1:100. The new solid state transformers are quite flexible. They use diodes and transistors and other semiconductor-based devices (power electronics); which unlike the transistors used in computer chips, are engineered for handling high power levels and happen to be fast switching. In response to signals from home or utility, they can change the voltage and other characteristics of the power they generate. They can put out either DC or AC power, or take in DC and AC power from wind turbines and solar panels and change the frequency and voltage to what is needed for the grid. They have processors and communications’ hardware built in, thereby allowing them to communicate with utility operators, the other smart transformers, and consumers.
