    Solid state transformers course – e-lesson #5: Distributed generation and renewables sources part 1

    Course: | Free Basic level

    Hosted by: Mario Salano / Intermediate level

    The fifth lesson of the new course titled "Distributed generation" is scheduled for April 15th at 2 pm CET.

    The topics of the first lesson are:

    • A distributed generation system becomes more efficient and reliable and provides a better configuration to absorb high penetration of renewable energy sources compared with the conventional grids.
    • Distributed energy sources interconnected with distribution network are continuously increasing thanks to the electricity market liberalisation and advanced developments in technologies of energy generation and distribution. Benefits that dispersed generation offers, public regulations and economic opportunities promote the spread of these units throughout the distribution network and the world.
    • Distribution network can be affected by stability and security issues. When a fault occurs, there is the possibility of continuously supplying it from different sources and from the generator connected to the faulted feeder.

    Course Overview

    This course delves into the evolution of distribution transformers and how Solid-State Transformers (SST) are transforming electrical grids. It focuses on integrating distributed energy sources, improving grid efficiency, and managing bidirectional power flow. The course covers the technicalities of SST, their role in smart grids, and their ability to enhance power quality.

    What Makes This Course Unique

    The course provides a comprehensive look at how SSTs are replacing traditional transformers in modern grids. It explores their impact on power flow, grid management, and energy storage solutions, making it an essential resource for professionals in power electronics and renewable energy.

    Course Details

    The course is structured across three levels: Basic, Intermediate, and Master’s Level, with lessons that cover everything from the role of distributed energy to the practical challenges of implementing SST in smart grids.

    Key topics include:

    • Distributed energy sources and their integration with classic grids
    • The function and benefits of SST in managing power flow and mitigating disturbances
    • The evolution of power distribution and smart grids
    • Advanced features of SST in reducing system size and improving efficiency

    Who Should Take This Course

    This course is ideal for:

    • Students and technicians interested in renewable energy and smart grid technologies
    • Power electronics specialists looking to understand the potential of SST
    • Transformer manufacturers and industry professionals
    • Join us to explore how SST is at the heart of the next generation of electrical distribution.

    The main topic of this session is the considerations of products that meet technical specifications overcoming business and social problems: concept applied to line frequency transformers.

    As the course author – Mr. Salano – likes to  put it: Technical specification is the mother of every design as it communicates the needs and requirements of the users in manageable technical data.

    Attend and learn more.

    Keywords: specification, requirements, design, data sheet, standards

    About the author

    Mario Salano

    Mr. Salano’s expertise in the field of power transformers comes from a well established engineering skills acquired in “Salano transformers”, renowned Italian company that manufactured line-frequency power transformers for Italian power utilities. While inheriting the company from his father, Sig. Mario Salano used his vast engineering skills and he managed to maintain the company in rough period of seventies, adding new technologies and novel approaches to traditional values and products of “Salano transformers”.

    His current interests include high-efficiency distribution transformers, the impact of nonlinear loads on power transformers, novel materials for transformer cores and also high-frequency power transformers for the use in conjunction with power electronics topologies.
