The 15kV SiC IGBT (2 μm buffer layer) with chip area of 8.4 × 8.4 mm2 is the state of the art high voltage device designed by Cree Inc. This device is expected to increase the power density of converters and the demonstration of the device in applications like Solid State Transformers has been published. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate the performance of the device in very high voltage...
The low voltage SiC (Silicon carbide) MOSFET (1.2 kV to 1.7 kV) increases the switching frequency limits of a power electronic converter several folds compared to low voltage Si IGBTs. Significant increase in efficiency and power density of voltage source converters can be achieved. However, for medium-voltage high-power converter applications Silicon (Si) devices (4.5 kV and 6.5 kV IGBT) are still...
This paper presents the performance of silicon carbide (SiC) switches in a series-loaded resonant (SLR) converter with dual control (DuC). It is shown that the SiC metal oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with DuC increases the overall efficiency of the SLR converter compared to frequency modulation (FM). For the SiC bipolar junction transistors (BJT), the loss reduction with DuC...
This paper describes the design, construction, and testing of a 750-V 100-kW 20-kHz bidirectional isolated dual-active-bridge dc–dc converter using four 1.2-kV 400-A SiC-MOSFET/SBD dual modules. The maximum conversion efficiency from the dc-input to the dc-output terminals is accurately measured to be as high as 98.7% at 42-kW operation. The overall power loss at the rated-power (100 kW) operation,...
