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.

This paper analyzes the impact on the converter design of including such characteristic for the DC-DC Modular Multilevel Converter.

A novel model and a multi-variable linear control for power and magnetizing average currents are proposed

In this prototype, achieving full operation was prevented by false triggering of semiconductors due to large common-mode current through gate drivers.

Simulation results of a MMC model and figures of merit are shown to provide consistent result, proving that the proposed figures of merit are a very simple and fast way to select the best semiconductor switch.

This paper introduces a unidirectional MVDC-HVDC converter for ‘all DC’ connected offshore wind farms.

This paper investigates the gate-driver design challenges encountered due to the fast switching of wide band-gap semiconductors (here, SiC MOSFETs) in the half-bridge configuration.

The experimental studies show the effects of the transformer construction and vector group (star/delta) on the common-mode currents through the gate drivers of SiC MOSFETs in a 100kW 1.2kV three-phase dual active bridge converter.

In this paper, a methodology is proposed to define the optimal rated power and number of PEBBs.
