Global Solid State Transformer Market - Smart Industry Size, Market Share, Smart Trends, Analysis, and Forecast, 2012 - 2018
Albany, New York (PRWEB) September 22, 2013 -- The solid state transformer (SST) market is in its nascent stage but is expected to grow exponentially due to its numerous advantages. An SST consists of semi-conductor based components and diodes which are capable of handling high power and fast switching of current. The SSTs have in-built hardware which allows them to communicate with the operator and consumer. The reduced size provides for higher efficiency along with better automation and control.
The SST market is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 81% from 2012 to 2018. The solid state transformer market can be classified based on the product type, components, application and geography. Based on the product type, the transformer market is widely classified into conventional transformer market and the solid state transformer market. The SST market is further classified based on the various products included in the market such as converters, switches, high frequency transformers, and many others.

SSTs are segregated based on applications into traction locomotives, power (distribution) grid, electrical vehicle charging station and others. Geographically, the SST market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World.
This market is expected to see a very high growth rate which can be attributed to the advantage SSTs have over conventional transformers. An SST is very compact, and the size to weight ratio compared to a conventional transformer is 1:100, which facilitates operations at a high frequency with higher efficiency. It is highly flexible and causes fewer power losses while increasing or decreasing the current. This saves power losses which is a major requirement for grids. This feature has been a key driving force for the SST market.
The only restraints for the SST market are its high cost and the lack of a testing facility for the prototypes. Electrical components cannot be used without being tested and currently there are not enough testing facilities.
SSTs have found their applications in a large number of devices. These devices provide for the growth of the market. Increased power transmission and distribution due to the infrastructural growth in many countries, coupled with the dwindling quantity of power generation warrants a transformer that can work under high load and minimize power losses. Also, the increased military and civil applications of SSTs give impetus to the growth of the market. Some of the big companies using SST technology in their products are Siemens AG, ABB, Alstom and some others. The key component manufacturers for SST market are STMicroelectronics, CREE Inc., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Infineon Technologies, and a few others.
