| Abstract | This article proposes an approach to identify intrinsic power losses of the medium frequency transformer that interfaces two modular multilevel converters (MMC) operated with phase-shifted square wave modulation (PS-SWM) to form a DC solid state transformer (DC SST) module. Cascaded MMC module based DC SST architecture is an excellent choice for HVDC to MVDC conversion for DC grid application as well as for renewable and distributed energy resource integration into the DC grid. Operation with PS-SWM allows reduced cell capacitor size and lower total semiconductor device ratings. However, this modulation generates a unique quasi-square waveform at the SST internal medium frequency (MF) AC interface, which differs from other known square-wave modulation types. This produces a similarly unique transformer flux density, resulting in a transformer core loss that cannot be predicted by existing methods which makes it challenging to identify. In the interest of presenting a useful and optimizable MF transformer design methodology, this article develops a tool to predict the loss of the MF transformer subjected to PS-SWM. The proposed loss estimation technique is validated through an experimental testbed operated in two different configurations and is demonstrated to provide a valid basis for the use of the proposed MF transformer design methodology. Furthermore, this article provides an analysis of the load-dependent MF transformer core loss, which demonstrates a secondary usefulness of the proposed loss prediction tool in identifying load-dependent converter losses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
