Solid-state transformers (SSTs) are key enabling technologies for smart grids, offering enhanced controllability, fault isolation, and active power quality improvement over conventional low-frequency transformers. Their front-end AC-DC converter must rectify grid voltage while maintaining a high power factor (PF) and l...

The way power systems operate is being reshaped by the high penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as rooftop solar, batteries and electric vehicles in low-voltage distribution networks. These technologies, although beneficial for decentralization and decarbonization, pose significant technical challen...

Aotearoa New Zealand’s distribution network faces significant strain from a 250% increase in distributed solar photovoltaic installations between 2013 and 2022. These trends increase vulnerability to failure of line-frequency transformers (LFT). The objective of this paper is to investigate the technical feasibility of...

The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and photovoltaic (PV) generation introduces new operational challenges for low voltage (LV) distribution networks, including transformer overloading, voltage deviations and bidirectional power flows. Mitigation measures often include the upgrading of conventional transformers and t...
