Active Gate Control for Current Balancing of Parallel-Connected IGBT Modules in Solid-State Modulators
Abstract
In modern pulsed power systems, often, fast solid-state switches like MOSFETs and insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules are used to generate short high power pulses. In order to increase the pulsed power, solid-state switches have to be connected in series or in parallel. Depending on the interconnection of the switches, parameter variations in the switches and in the system can lead to an unbalanced voltage or current. Therefore, the switches are generally derated, which results in an increased number of required devices, cost, and volume. With an active gate control, derating and preselection of the switching devices can be avoided. In this paper, an active gate control of paralleled IGBT modules, which has been developed for converters with inductive load, is explained in detail and adapted to a solid-state modulator. This paper focuses on achieving a low-inductance IGBT current measurement, the control unit implementation with a field-programmable gate array and a digital signal processor, as well as the balancing of the pulse currents.

“although the paralleling of transistors is an object of significant research [40][41][42][43][44], the application of this topology in the self-resonance architectures requires additional investigation.”
In the citing paper
“To realize closed-loop feedback, high-performance current sensors are required.For examples, a printed circuit board (PCB) integrated Rogowski coil is designed in [16] while a differential current transformer is employed in [20], which make the AGD more complicated.”

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.
