    An optimization coordinated controller applied for solar farm together with a solid state transformer in order to improve transient stability is presented in this paper. Transient stability issues in a modern electrical power grid represent one of the challenge topics for an electrical engineer because uncertain renewable energy resources (RES) are increased because of a demand for green energy requirement. This increased RES can adversely disturb a terminal voltage; consequently, a damage to electrical equipment can happen. In order to solve a transient response issue, it is possible to use a solid state transformer (SST) or intelligent transformer, used to interface between RES and a power grid. SST consists of a set of converters which can be modulated via the converters to maintain the desired voltage levels; thus, this solution can reduce transient response and power fluctuation concurrently. For this reason, this paper presents a controller design for a solar photovoltaic (SPV), connected to a power grid via SST in order to enhance the quality of power injections from RES to improve transient stability of the electrical system. The optimization of a controller model is proposed by modifying a PI controller from a commercial one. The proposed controller is validated with the standard IEEE 39 buses. The validation scenario of both an uncertainty due to time delay accounting for a range of 425ms-525ms and various solar radiation patterns are also taken into account for the evaluation of a proposed controller performance. Simulation results demonstrate that power fluctuation due to uncertain RES can be mitigated by using the proposed controller. Moreover, in case of large disturbances such as a circuit breaker tripping to open a power line due to a fault, the proposed coordinated control of SPV and SST can satisfactorily perform to suppress severe voltage swings within an electrical device rated voltage limit to protect catastrophe damage. The results suggest that the proposed controllers can be alternative solutions in order to solve a transient stability issue due to uncertain increased RES in a modern power grid.

    This proposed paper presents the use of selective harmonic elimination (SHE) technology to control the cascaded H-Bridge Multi-level Inverter (CHBMI) for power transferring over the high frequency transformer (HFT), which is a part of the SST for applying to a solar farm. Apparently, the converter is using the seven-level CHBMI and the SHE technique to get rid of the 5<sup>th</sup> harmonic and 7<sup>th</sup> harmonic to find a set of angles θ<inf>1</inf>, θ<inf>2</inf> and 63 with the lowest 3<sup>rd</sup> harmonic. The calculated angles are used in each modules. Obviously, the simulation has shown that, at m<inf>a</inf>=2.43, θ<inf>1</inf>=11.6782°, θ<inf>2</inf>=26.8870° and θ<inf>3</inf>=56.0271°. The total harmonic distortion (% THDv) will be lowest at 9.35%. According to the experimentation, the SHE technique with low % THDv can reduce the power loss at HFT compared to the square wave transmission technique which the % THDv is high.

    This proposed paper introduces the fault detection method for solar cell with Box Plot technique on the Solid State Transformer (SST) for the solar farm application. The Box Plot technique with inclusive quartile value is functioned for finding the upper and lower limit for data analysis. Normally, the fault detections of solar panels are found by using the PV string current from the SST to calculate the upper and lower limit of the Box Plot. If one of the string currents is in the specific outer boundary, therefore, the solar panels are in non-operational condition mode. Generally, the fault detection testing for the solar panels can be categorized in 5 cases: normal condition, open circuit condition, line-line condition, partial shading condition and degradation condition. Finally, based on the simulation result and the actual results, the Box Plot is able to monitor the performance of the PV string according to various conditions as efficiently as possible and accurate.
