Abstract

The advancements in wide-bandgap devices are enabling applications of power electronic converters coupled directly with medium-voltage (MV) grids that incorporate galvanic isolation within the converter using high-frequency solid-state transformers (SSTs). This paper presents analysis, design, and the characterization results of a 50-kVA modular soft-switched ac-ac SST using silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET for MV (>6 kV ac) applications. The SST is comprised of two hard-switched ac-line interface bridges and a resonant dc-dc stage switched at approximately 180 kHz. To minimize the cost of switching elements per ampere and maximize the design flexibility, the design uses multiple discrete SiC devices of, readily available, 1700-V ratings. This paper covers the analysis of soft-switching operation, control architecture, converter design, and system-level integration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
