The Dual Active Bridge appears as a promising DC-DC converter topology when galvanic isolation and bidirectional power flow are required. Among its advantages, Zero Voltage Switching allows the switching losses to be significantly reduced.

Static, switching and short-circuit characterization of a 10 kV-class Silicon Carbide (SiC) Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is reported.

A 100 kW, isolated dc–dc converter was built over the course of one year, starting from a blank page. This paper details the design and manufacturing process.

This paper analyzes the impact on the converter design of including such characteristic for the DC-DC Modular Multilevel Converter.

A novel model and a multi-variable linear control for power and magnetizing average currents are proposed

In this prototype, achieving full operation was prevented by false triggering of semiconductors due to large common-mode current through gate drivers.

Simulation results of a MMC model and figures of merit are shown to provide consistent result, proving that the proposed figures of merit are a very simple and fast way to select the best semiconductor switch.

This paper introduces a unidirectional MVDC-HVDC converter for ‘all DC’ connected offshore wind farms.
