  2. 16. 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

  4. 17. 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

  5. 18. Operation and control of cascaded H-bridge converter for STATCOM application

    Author : Ehsan Behrouzian; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Modular Multilevel Converters MMC ; STATCOM; FACTS.; cascaded H-bridge converters;

    Abstract : In the last decade, particular attention has been paid to the use of Modular Multilevel Converters(MMC) for grid applications. In particular, for STATCOM applications the phase leg ofthe converter is constituted by a number of single-phase full-bridge converters connected incascade (here named Cascaded H-Bridge, CHB, converter).

  6. 19. 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
