Silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor devices are known to have potential benefits over conventional silicon (Si) devices, particularly in high power applications such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Recent literature studying the use of SiC JFETs in HEV inverters indicate a substantially increased gas mileage. This paper further investigates this change in inverter efficiency due to the adoption...
High-switching-frequency operation is essential for reducing the size and weight of LC filters in medium-voltage power converters. In this work, hybrid pairs of 6 kV SiC-PiN diodes and 4.5 kV Si-IEGTs have been applied to realize the high-switching-frequency operation. A gate-driving technique with an extremely low gate resistance called hard gate driving is employed for low switching losses of the...
Distributed energy resources (DERs) are becoming integral components of electric power distribution systems. In most cases, an isolated DC-DC converter forms part of the interface required to connect the DER output to the distribution system. Operation of the converter at high switching frequencies results in size reduction of passive components at the expense of increased switching losses. However,...
