Reactive power handling by distributed power generation systems (DPGS) was prevented in the past in order to avoid additional power losses in the distribution feeders, however several new national grid codes request reactive power generation/absorption by the converters of active users. Actually almost no literature is focused on power losses analysis in case of reactive current circulation from the...
This paper describes a new high-efficiency and high-speed switching method of a MOSFET using a switching assist circuit fed by the gate drive power supply. By applying the proposed circuit to a chopper and an inverter, a turn-off time of the MOSFET can be effectively reduced, which allows a higher-frequency operation and reduction of the turn-on loss. In the case of the application to the inverter,...
Hybrid Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques select the appropriate PWM sequence that induces either less current distortion or less switching losses or both. The sequence selection is usually based on an off-line sector partitioning. This simple solution freezes unfortunately the design and prevents any on-line evolution. In this article the improved hybrid PWM technique based on Finite Control...
This paper presents an efficiency comparison between silicon-carbide technology and silicon technology. In order to achieve this, the efficiency of an active neutral-point clamped converter built up with silicon carbide power-devices is compared with the efficiency of an active neutral-point clamped converter built up with silicon power-devices, under a particular operating mode and a particular selection...
