N2 - This paper presents a multi-objective control strategy for a four-port solid-state transformer (SST) interfacing photovoltaic (PV) system, battery energy storage (BESS), utility grid, and a 48V data center load. The proposed control approach simultaneously optimizes multiple objectives, including power allocation and load voltage regulation. The main objectives of the proposed approach are to supply a constant 48V to the data center while maximizing renewable energy utilization, and balancing the demand and supply by dynamically injecting the extra available power into the grid or the battery and consuming it from the grid or the battery if there is no sufficient renewable energy availability. The proposed approach is experimentally implemented and its effectiveness is validated through a set of different case studies.
