Zusammenfassung

This paper discusses the start-up of modular threestage Solid State Transformers (SSTs) based on a cascaded Hbridge (CHB) topology. Auxiliary Power Supplies (APSs) are used to feed the auxiliary circuitry from the cells DC link. Since DC links need to charge to a certain threshold voltage to power the APSs, then first steps of the start-up must be performed before APSs are operative and consequently without measurements and control. This can result in undesirable events, e.g. inrush currents, voltage sags in the capacitors voltages, etc. In this work a start-up scheme for the SST is proposed. The procedure is valid for both grid-forming and grid-feeding SST operation modes. Simulation and experimental results are provided.
