What you'll do:
Conventionally Medium Voltage is converted to Low Voltage via passive transformer, consisting of large 50/60 Hz windings and core material. Solid state transformers (SST) use high-frequency transformers and power electronics, providing a controllable MV/LV converter with higher power density compared to the conventional passive transformer.
Eaton is offering one paid MSc thesis position to further study this subject:
• Within industrial and datacenter segments, define key applications (use cases) for SST based on e.g. literature research and interviews
• Develop a techno-economic cost / benefit model that considers both CAPEX and OPEX of SST
• Investigate and quantify the benefits of SST using developed model for the defined applications
