Abstract: A single phase Soft Switching-Solid State Transformer (SS-SST) design is proposed with H-bridge topology as an alternative solution to fulfil the demand of low (or) medium grid power applications. A medium/low frequency transformers fed with H-bridge circuit are incorporate without DC-voltage link, and it’s provided sinusoidal output voltage into the grid. An optimization of Cuckoo Search Firefly (CSF) algorithm was proposed in this research to find optimum switching angle and duty cycle in bridge circuit unit. At present optimum grid power is achieved a maximum efficiency of medium/low power frequency with the help of proposed SS-SST (MS4T) model. For proposed design is used to electric aircraft, ship power systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and fast charging electric vehicles (EV). Which are appealing the networks of medium-voltage DC (MVDC). Proposed MS4T design is based on soft-switching transformer with low conduction loss, low EMI and high efficiency via H-bridge converter circuit. The capacitor voltage balancing control between cascade module and design of the component including a medium level voltage frequency transformer that is implement a 1 kV to 0.25 kV MS4T described. Therefore, the efficacy of the present investigations are established with MATLAB platform. The medium voltage Micro Grid (MG) output is estimated under different operation load conditions. A simulation result of the grid power is measured minimum harmonics level by using optimum switching angle, switching frequency and duty cycle arrangements.
