The explosive growth of distributed photovoltaics (residential + commercial & industrial) has brought three new challenges to distribution networks: reverse heavy loading at substation areas, voltage limit violations, and difficulties in renewable energy accommodation.
The traditional distribution network's rigid structure of "one substation area, one transformer" cannot achieve power mutual support between substation areas, resulting in the coexistence of solar curtailment and transformer overloading.

| Pain Point | Manifestation | Physical Root Cause |
|---|---|---|
| Difficult Accommodation | Solar curtailment in PV-rich substation areas | No power mutual support between substation areas |
| Reverse Heavy Loading | Transformer overloading in substation areas during peak PV generation | Unidirectional power distribution structure |
| Voltage Limit Violations | Voltage rise at PV concentration points | No active voltage regulation capability |
| High Losses | Long-distance power transmission | Uncontrollable power flow |
| Aspect | Physical Principle | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Independent Substation Areas | One transformer per substation area | No power mutual support |
| Unidirectional Power Flow | Source → Load | PV reverse flow becomes a problem |
| Aspect | Physical Principle | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Common DC Bus | Multiple substation area SSTs interconnected | Power mutual support capability |
| Bidirectional Power Flow | SST controllable bidirectional | Local PV accommodation |
Physical Essence: The SST power router connects multiple substation areas to a common DC bus, allowing PV-rich substation areas to transfer power to power-deficient areas. This is the physical foundation for achieving +18% distributed PV accommodation.
The SST Direct-Attached Flexible Interconnection Power Router (1.5/2.0MW, AC10kV/DC±10kV) enables flexible interconnection of multiple substation areas through a common DC bus:

| Layer | Composition | Power Flow | Design Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Substation Area Access | 10kV from each substation area | Substation area ↔ DC bus | Multi-area interconnection |
| Common DC Bus | DC±10kV | Power mutual support between areas | Bidirectional power flow capability |
| Loads/Sources | Loads + PV + Energy Storage | Bidirectional | Local accommodation |
Traditional substation transformers can only perform "unidirectional step-down power transmission." The SST power router, by contrast, functions as a "controllable bidirectional power valve." By controlling the power setpoints of each port, it enables power transfer from PV-rich substation areas to power-deficient areas while actively suppressing voltage limit violations.
