Smart transformers, also known as solid-state transformers (SSTs), represent a significant advancement over traditional transformers. Unlike conventional transformers, which use electromagnetic principles to transfer energy between circuits, smart transformers utilize power electronics to achieve the same goal.
Adaptive Load Management: One of the most significant benefits of smart transformers is their ability to manage loads adaptively. By adjusting their operation based on real-time load data, smart transformers can optimize energy distribution, reduce losses, and improve overall grid efficiency.
It should be noted that intelligent transformers by applying telecommunication links constantly monitor the grid, and in case of any disturbance in the grid, immediately operates in islanding mode, thus ensuring the continuity of load service, which will increase the reliability, stability, and efficiency of the system.
In general, various control methods are used in solid-state transformers, which can also improve power quality problems. In Reference 106, a new model for solid-state transformers is proposed; one of its advantages is better power factor correction and voltage regulation.
The use of these sources cannot meet the required electricity for the world's growing community due to their availability, cost, and lack of flexibility. However, modern energy systems focus on the use of renewable energy sources, where the grid transformer's interaction plays an essential role in their generation, transmission, and distribution.
Research efforts in smart materials, design, intelligent control, cybersecurity, and sustainability are critical to advancing the evolution of next-generation transformers for supporting the ongoing transformation of power distribution systems (Table 1). TABLE 1. Summary of important surveys.
