Application of power electronics to the distribution transformer
<p>"This dissertation describes the design and prototype construction of a novel Solid State Transformer (SST). Conventional distribution transformers are in many ways relics of turn-of-the-century technology. While efficient and inexpensive, their secondary voltage waveforms are tightly coupled to …
