Solid State Transformer Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Solid State Transformer Market is estimated to reach USD 456.86 million by 2033 with a CAGR of 12.72%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Solid State Transformer Market, including market size and trends, product mix, applications, and supplier analysis. A smart transformer, also known as a solid state transformer (SST), is a sophisticated power electronic device that uses solid state components rather than traditional electromagnetic coils to do the same tasks as a regular power transformer. In order to provide a more effective and adaptable solution for power distribution and conversion, this power electronics transformer integrates power electronics, such as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and gate turn-off thyristors (GTOs), with enhanced control and communication capabilities. In smart grid applications where bidirectional power flow is necessary to transmit energy between low voltage and high voltage or vice versa, three stage solid state transformers are also specially built and used.
- June 2022; Alstom, a pioneer in intelligent and sustainable mobility worldwide, and GTS Rail, a Bari based business that engages in multimodal rail freight transportation have reached an agreement for the supply of 20 Traxx DC3 electric locomotives, known as E.494 in Italy.
- October 2022; A 400kW extreme fast EV charger based on a next generation SiC MOSFET solid state transformer (SST) was demonstrated by Delta Electronics, Ltd., a subsidiary of Delta Electronics, Inc., to partners in its U.S. DOE grant program, including General Motors (GM), DTE Energy, Next Energy, Virginia Tech’s center of power electronics systems (CPES), and the American Center for mobility.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: In comparison to traditional transformer technology, solid-state transformer technology is still in its development. However, as various design elements are periodically improved, solid-state transformer functioning and lifespan cycle will be enhanced. Throughout the estimated time, the solid-state transformer market will benefit from any advancements produced in these domains since they are composed of various high-powered power electronic components. Solid-state technology research and development are being actively pursued by numerous research centers across the globe. The revised structure allows converter cells to be stacked in series and parallel for high-voltage and high-power applications. It can also reduce parts like electrolytic capacitors to obtain longer life and improved power density.
Challenges: Most of the time, low-voltage grids are protected against short circuits by fuses and circuit breakers that can be programmed. Only the closest upstream protection device should turn on in the event of a problem, minimizing the grid's influence to the lowest feasible area. Selectivity is key in this defense plan. When a short circuit occurs, a fuse with a lower rating trips before a fuse with a higher rating, indicating that a short circuit took place. In a reasonable amount of time, even an equally little fuse would take a long time to light.
Market Competitive Landscape
In order to increase their market share, major players in the solid state transformer industry are concentrating on using a variety of marketing techniques. In order to obtain a competitive edge in the solid state transformer business, mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships are among the other important tactics that have been used. Leading companies in the industry are ABB, Eaton, General Electric, GRIDBRIDGE, MASCHINENFABRIK REINHAUSEN GMBH, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and Varentec, Inc., Others.
