In two-stage solid-state transformers with input-series output-parallel structure, the LLC converter operating at a fixed switching frequency is a common choice for the isolated DC/DC conversion stage because it can provide a high efficiency and a fixed vo ...
In spite of the dominance of ac technology for the vast majority of power transmission and distributionsince the late 19th century, the past decades have seen an increase in use of dc electrical power. Inparticular, this has been the case both in high volt ...
Series connected IGCTs find application in hard-switched commercial power converters at the MW power levels. Expanding the application of these devices to medium voltage dc-dc resonant converters is of great interest due to the IGCTs low conduction losses. ...
In this article, a soft-switched nonisolated high step-up multi-input dc-dc converter is proposed. The proposed converter has overcome the hard switching problem of the conventional boost three port converter (boost-TPC) by providing zero-voltage-switching ...
The concept of a multi-source inverter (MSI) based on NPC topology was recently introduced for hybrid-electric powertrains to connect several dc sources to the traction load in a single conversion stage without magnetics. This work proposes a new modulatio ...
Recently, IGCTs have shown a great potential for the soft-switching dc transformer applications based on LLC resonant converter. The zero-voltage switching that is present in this converter topology enables an operation of IGCTs without clamping circuit an ...
IGCTs have successfully demonstrated to be well-suited devices for an application in medium-voltage dc transformers based on LLC resonant converter topology. This application enables unusually high switching frequencies in kHz range thanks to the zero-volt ...
Driven by the environmental changes, penetration of renewables and the need for more flexible power grid, DC is reemerging as a basis for future power networks. Already established in the area of HVDC for very long distance transmission, more and more atte ...
The deexcitation of a synchronous machine has been used for the protection of the power supply based on a diode rectifier in marine dc power distribution networks. The fault current from the generator can be eliminated with the protection method utilizing ...
Maximizing the efficiency and power density of dc-dc converters demands parallel optimizations in design and control, especially for variable-frequency converters operating over wide frequency ranges. This work presents the full-scale optimization of a kil ...
