A Medium Frequency Transformer Design Tool with Methodologies Adapted to Various Structures
Insights on the best technological choices to be used for MFTs & shows significant differences in performance between structures.
Experimental validation and comparison of a SiC MOSFET based 100 kW 1.2 kV 20 kHz three-phase dual active bridge converter using two vector groups
The Dual Active Bridge appears as a promising DC-DC converter topology when galvanic isolation and bidirectional power flow are required. Among its advantages, Zero Voltage Switching allows the switching losses to be significantly reduced.
Demonstration of the Short-circuit Ruggedness of a 10 kV Silicon Carbide Bipolar Junction Transistor
Static, switching and short-circuit characterization of a 10 kV-class Silicon Carbide (SiC) Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is reported.
How Good are the Design Tools in Power Electronics?
A 100 kW, isolated dc–dc converter was built over the course of one year, starting from a blank page. This paper details the design and manufacturing process.
