The application of Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors in a single phase inverter for photovoltaic (PV) systems is presented inverter. The power of the system is 2 kW. For both stages (DC boost stage and inverter stage), a very high switching frequency of 250 kHz is used. By this, a highly compact design for the inverter (200 × 150 × 80 mm3 / 2.4 l) was reached. The power to weight ratio corresponds...
The implementation of 15 kV Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs in a three-phase, three-level active power filter of 100 kVA for a 10 kVAC grid and their challenges is shown. Due to the high switching frequency of 16 kHz, respectively 32 kHz ripple frequency, it will perfectly suited for active filtering of harmonics in the medium voltage grid.
A 1.8 kW boost converter for a PV-inverter with a switching frequency up to 250 kHz is analyzed. The boost converter consists of two parallel legs and the hardware is built so that chokes and semiconductors can be exchanged easily. Two different operating modes, the Continuous Induction Current Mode (CICM) with a fixed switching frequency of fS = 250 kHz and the Transition Mode (TM) with a variable...
In this work different three-level topologies suitable for PV systems are analyzed. First the basic operation principles of the Neutral Point Clamped (NPC), Active Neutral Point Clamped (ANPC) and Mixed Voltage Neutral Point Clamped (MNPC) topologies are explained and the used PWM strategies are presented. All three topologies are realized in hardware on a modular test setup, so that it is possible...
Due to new grid codes for grid connected photovoltaic power generation, since 2012 PV inverters have to be able to feed in reactive power down to a power factor of cos(ϕ) = 0.9 besides their normal operation with pure active power [1]. In this paper the influence of different semiconductors on the power losses as function of the power factor will be studied on the base of a three-level MNPC topology...
