Multi-level topologies reduce the requirements on inductors and filters, however, given the high number of series connected semiconductors, it is still unclear if they are a suitable option to achieve ultra-high efficiency while maintaining a reasonable power density. For this purpose, an extensive quantitative evaluation of different topologies is carried out, to determine the required volume for...
DC power distribution systems for data centers, industrial applications and residential areas are expected to provide higher efficiency, reliability and lower cost compared to ac systems. Accordingly they have been an important research topic in recent years. In these applications an efficient power factor correction rectifier, supplying a dc distribution bus from the conventional three-phase ac mains...
Due to the increasing power consumption of data centers, efficient dc power distribution systems have become an important topic in research and industry over the last years. Furthermore the power consumed by data centers is an economic factor, which implies that all parts of the distribution system should be designed to minimize the life cycle cost, i.e. the sum of first cost and the cost of dissipation...
This paper describes a new modulation concept for the uni- and bidirectional SWISS rectifier which mitigates input current distortions at the gird voltage sector boundaries. An analytical model is derived and compared to simulations, showing that these distortions are increasing the input current THD significantly. Furthermore, an algorithm is presented which allows the calculation of a temporary...
This paper introduces a phase-oriented control strategy for the uni- and bidirectional three-phase, bucktype SWISS Rectifier. It allows phase shifted sinusoidal input currents which enable the generation of capacitive or inductive reactive power at the converter's AC grid interface. Furthermore, the operation of the SWISS Rectifier with unsymmetrical AC mains voltages is analyzed. Modifications of...
Magnetostriction describes the geometrical change in length of a ferromagnetic material in dependence of its internal magnetic flux density value. By detecting the vibrations caused by these dimensional changes with a piezo-electric transducer, the instantaneous value of the magnetic flux inside a magnetic core can be sensed from DC up to a few kilohertz. This principle, together with a high bandwidth...
