Why is it difficult to increase the voltage level?
The solid-state transformer (SST), also known as a power electronic transformer (PET), uses voltage level as a key indicator of its technological maturity and application scenarios. Currently, SSTs have reached voltage levels of 10 kV and 35 kV on the medium-voltage distribution side, while on the high-voltage transmission side, they remain in the stage of laboratory research and prototype validation. The table below clearly illustrates the current status of voltage levels across different appli
