A simulation shows that switching speed is decreased by the stray capacitance on the inverter output electrode pattern. The design guidelines focusing on reduction of the stray capacitance are proposed. Further, based on the guidelines, a SiC-MOSFET VSI to reduce the stray capacitance is designed using a double-sided PCB with 35 μm-thick standard copper foil. Experiments using SiC- MOSFET VSIs show that the inverter with the redesigned PCB shortens the switching time of the drain-source voltage by 10% for the rise time and by 38% for the fall time compared with an inverter based on our previous design guidelines. Hence, the switching loss is also reduced using the redesigned PCB inverter.","PeriodicalId":230939,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 4th International Future Energy Electronics Conference (IFEEC)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132016987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The neutral-point voltage of the T-type inverter may suffer from low-frequency oscillation due to third harmonic current, thus detreating maximum point tracking (MPPT) of series solar panels. This paper proposes a new modulation for the T-type inverter to suppress the neutral-point oscillation even under the condition of unbalanced neutral-point voltage. Thus, the dc-side capacitance of the inverter can be significantly reduced and film capacitors are able to replace electrolytic capacitors to increase the lifetime of the inverter.
