Medium Voltage Diode Rectifier Design for High Step-Up DC-DC Converter
A medium voltage rectifier, relying on series connection of SiC Schottky diodes, is designed and tested within a unidirectional isolated DC-DC converter.
Open-Delta SBC: a New Converter Topology with Low Number of Sub-Modules for MV applications
This work focuses on analysing the relationship between reserve energy demand and load, wind, and solar generation.
Experimental study of the reduction and removal of turn-on snubber and its limiting di/dt clamp inductor for IGCT based MMC submodule using fast silicon diodes
The goal of this study is to determine if the snubber can simply be removed in IGCT if fast enough freewheeling diodes are used.
DC-MMC with reduced number of sub-modules providing fault blocking capability in HVDC Grids
This paper proposes to use a main switch instead of adding sub-modules in the topology to provide fault blocking capability.
Distributed subsea substation for Offshore Renewable Energy collection architectures and compliance with metal-enclosed switchgear’s normative references
The purpose of this publication is to introduce and assess the operations of the so-called Fishbone architectures from a switchgear point of view.
Unidirectional step-up isolated DC-DC converter for MVDC electrical networks
This article focuses on the DC-DC converter for MVDC electrical networks. A classification of DC-DC converters is proposed.
Series connected SiC-MOSFETs voltage balancing: two methods with adaptative delays
This paper presents different embedded measurement techniques in an active gate-driver that adjusts switching delay in real-time.
Integration of power flow controllers in HVDC grids
This work discusses different DC busbar arrangements with power flow controllers and selects a circuit providing good availability...
