Medium-Voltage Direct-Connect Ultra-Fast Charging Station


 
An SST-Based Solution for Next-Generation EV Charging

1. Industry Background and Pain Points

1.1 Industry Background

With more than 30 million EVs on the road, users now expect charging to feel like refuelling. That demand has driven the shift to ultra-fast charging (350 kW+, 800 V platform). But the conventional "transformer + charger" station architecture hits a systematic wall in power density, efficiency and utilisation of the grid connection.

1.2 Four Pain Points of Traditional Charging Stations

Pain point Description Physical root cause
Slow charging 30–60 minutes for a conventional fast charge Power limited
Low efficiency Whole-station efficiency of ~90% Transformer + AC/DC multi-stage losses
Grid impact Concentrated charging shocks the grid No energy-storage buffer
Poor grid utilisation Fixed transformer capacity No peak-shaving capability
 

1.3 Traditional vs. SST Direct Connection — the Physical Difference

Traditional charging-station chain

Step Equipment Loss In plain terms
10 kV → 0.4 kV transformer 1%–2% Steps the voltage down for supply
AC/DC charging module 3%–5% Converts AC to DC for charging
 Total loss: ~5%–7%, whole-station efficiency of ~90%–93%.

SST direct-connect charging-station chain

Step Equipment Loss In plain terms
SST solid-state transformer 1%–2% Directly connected at 10 kV with integrated rectification, in one step
Direct DC busbar supply Negligible Multiple guns share one DC bus
 

Total loss: ~2%–5%, whole-station efficiency of 94.5%–97.5%.

Physical root cause: SST medium-voltage direct connection removes the transformer, cutting charging-chain losses by 3–5 percentage points; the shared DC busbar lets multiple charging guns share power, improving utilisation.

3. System Architecture

3.1 System Topology (Layer by Layer)

① Medium-voltage connection: 10 kV incoming — with incoming protection and metering
② SST power core: 10 kV AC → multi-port DC busbar
③ Charging terminals: ultra-fast terminals (MW-class extreme charging, 100 km in 1 minute), liquid-cooled ultra-fast terminals (sustained high power), and an energy-storage coupling port (peak shaving)
④ Charging management: charger cluster control + EMS

Layer Composition Power flow Design rationale
① Medium-voltage connection 10 kV incoming Grid → SST Medium-voltage direct connection
② SST core DC busbar 10 kV → Multi-port DC One busbar, many guns, shared power
③ Charging terminals Ultra-fast + liquid-cooled + storage DC → Vehicle Mixed multi-gun dispatch
④ Management Cluster control + EMS Information flow Power-allocation optimisation

Medium-Voltage Direct-Connect Ultra-Fast Charging Station

3.2 How the Shared DC Busbar Works

In a traditional station, each charger has its own AC/DC stage and the powers are not shared. In the SST solution, all charging terminals share a single DC busbar, and the total power is allocated on demand — this is the physical basis of the "120% grid utilisation".

 5. Technical Highlights and Physical Principles

5.1 Highlight 1: MW-Class Extreme Charging

  • Physical principle: the SST medium-voltage direct connection provides an 800 V / 1000 V DC busbar, so the power per gun can reach MW class, breaking through the ceiling of the traditional 400 V platform.
  • Quantified benefit: 100 km of range in 1 minute — an experience on par with refuelling.

Medium-Voltage Direct-Connect Ultra-Fast Charging Station

5.2 Highlight 2: 120% Grid Utilisation

  • Physical principle: with a coupled energy-storage port, the station charges storage at off-peak times and discharges at peak times; combined with PV, transformer capacity utilisation can exceed 100%.
  • Quantified benefit: with the same transformer capacity, more vehicles can be served, improving ROI.

5.3 Highlight 3: One-Day Delivery

  • Physical principle: modular factory pre-fabrication means the station is lifted into place and ready to use on site.
  • Quantified benefit: the world-first Kunshan station was delivered in 1 day.
