Summary:Along with the DC grid distribution issue, the Solid State Transformer (SST) is increasingly emerging in the field of electric power electronics, and the Hybrid SST (HSST) study is also emerging between the current AC-based Grid and future DC grid distribution. At present, several SST and HSST studies have discussed ways to implement the same topology in series to create high DC voltages. These cascade-style topologies not only make it difficult to implement controllers and designing gate drivers but also require a lot of elements, which drives up the overall system's price. Meanwhile, IGBT and MOSFET series connections are actively being studied for high voltage topology, and various techniques are being studied to solve simultaneous turn on/off problems. This paper proposes by altering the PFC circuit used in existing LVs to switch device series-connected base for HSST and SST. In this paper, circuits were constructed using balancing resistance and passive component for voltage balancing of series-connected switches, and validity is verified through proper controller selection and formulas.
