  2. 21. Battery Integrated Modular Multilevel Converter Topologies for Automotive Applications

    Author : Arvind Balachandran; Lars Eriksson; Tomas Uno Jonsson; Torbjörn Thiringer; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Electric vehicles are rapidly developing in response to the need for increasing sustainable energy sources. The range and lifetime of an electric vehicle are limited by the battery pack. A pack comprises modules with several parallel and/or series-connected cells. READ MORE

  4. 22. A new Auxiliary Converter Topology with SiC Components for Railway Applications

    Author : LUYU WANG; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
    Keywords : Auxiliary converter; Multilevel converter; ; Silicon Carbide transistors;

    Abstract : Smaller size and lower weight are always the targets of the power electronic product development. This work introduces two new topologies of auxiliary converters which have the feature of fewer components and fewer number of energy conversion stages comparing with the conventional auxiliary converter used in railway applications.

  5. 23. Modeling and Design of Modular MultilevelConverters for Grid Applications

    Author : Kalle Ilves; Nee Hans-Peter; Alireza Nami; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Modular multilevel converter; feed-forward control; modulation; switching frequency; energy storage;

    Abstract : Grid-connected high-power converters are found in high-voltage direct current transmission (HVDC), static compensators (STATCOMs), and supplies for electric railways. Such power converters should have a high reliability, high efficiency, good harmonic performance, low cost, and a small footprint. READ MORE

  6. 24. On Gate Drivers and Applications of Normally-ON SiC JFETs

    Author : Dimosthenis Peftitsis; Hans-Peter Nee; Johann Walter Kolar; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Silicon Carbide; Normally-ON Junction Field-Effect Transistors JFETs ; Gate-Drive Circuits; Protection circuits; High-Efficiency Converters.; Järnvägsgruppen - Elsystem; Järnvägsgruppen - Elsystem;

    Abstract : In this thesis, various issues regarding normally-ON silicon carbide (SiC)Junction Field-Effect Transistors (JFETs) are treated. Silicon carbide powersemiconductor devices are able to operate at higher switching frequencies,higher efficiencies, and higher temperatures compared to silicon counterparts. READ MORE

  7. 25. Ultrahigh-Voltage Silicon Carbide Device Performance, Requirements, and Limitations in High-Power Applications

    Author : Daniel Johannesson; Hans-Peter Nee; Staffan Norrga; Muhammad Nawaz; Alberto Castellazzi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; 4H-SiC; Current Filamentation; Device Characterization; Dynamic Avalanche; JTE Structure; Junction Termination Extension Design; SiC BJT; SiC GTO Thyristor; SiC IGBT; SiC MOSFET; SiC PiN Diode; Silicon Carbide; TCAD Simulation; Wide bandgap device; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The increased awareness of the on-going climate change accelerates the electric energy system transformation from fossil-fueled power sources towards systems with larger portions of renewable energy sources. Moreover, the grid infrastructure requires reinforcements to cope with increasing electrical energy demand. READ MORE
