A solid state transformer is a multistage device which typically comprises input stage, high-frequency transformer, and output stage. The output stage can be configured as per the need and verities of loads; therefore, it provides the output in either form of current (AC and DC). This feature eliminates the need of additional AC to DC converter and thus reduces the cost of the system. Though the cost of a solid state transformer is higher than their rational counterpart, it is expected that the deployment of a solid state transformer in an electricity distribution network would increase the overall system efficiency by 8%–10%. Many companies and research institutions have invested in development and testing of solid state transformers for various applications. For example, in 2011, ABB Ltd. (Switzerland) has a solid state transformer for the traction locomotives application, named as power electronics traction transformer (PETT). However, it is expected that a solid state transformer would be commercialized by 2017.
