When integrating multi-grid renewable energy systems, modular multi-level converters (MMCs) are promising for high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission. Because of the characteristics of the system, however, it is more difficult to prevent a fault at the D...
This article presents the concept of switching and conduction loss reduction in a T-NPC inverter based on IGBT transistors. The method of limiting switching losses involves the connection of an LC circuit designed to cause transistors in vertical bra...
A novel snapback-free superjunction reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor (SJ-RC-IGBT) is proposed and verified by simulation. In the SJ-RC-IGBT, the parasitic P/N/P/N structure as thyristor or Shockley diode demonstrates large conduct...
Nowadays, wind turbines based on a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) are a commonly used solution in the wind industry. The standard converter topology used in these systems is the voltage source inverter (VSI). The use of reverse-blocking insula...
The bidirectional dc-dc converter is a critical component for extending the use of renewable energy and improving the efficiency of high-power electronic systems. This paper presents the analysis of the stray inductance of a commutation loop and the...
