Abstract

Nowadays, the demand for better efficiency, flexibility and reliability in modern power systems is rising gradually, to prompt the wide application of advanced power electronic technology in transmission and distribution. This dissertation aims to explore how these technologies have developed from conventional silicon devices to wide bandgap (WBG) materials like silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), and also analyses the effect of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) and smart grids in improving system performance. By boosting the switching speed, lowering conduction losses and real-time monitoring, these innovations can reduce line losses by up to 20% and dramatically improve overall system stability. According to the latest studies about converter design and real cases, this dissertation analyses key factors such as cost, thermal management and compatibility with legacy equipment. Moreover, it also emphasizes how robust control algorithms and data-driven approaches optimise power delivery. Research results show that combining advanced materials, flexible operation strategies and smart automation can effectively solve key bottlenecks like low transmission efficiency and poor stability, promoting the development of high-efficiency, reliable and sustainable power networks. This study proposes a path to achieve these advantages from the system level to build a cleaner and more resilient future energy system.
