RVB switches are not only important in CSIs, but also find their applications in matrix converters, high voltage DC circuit breakers and T-type voltage source inverters.

For an AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT), this region lies at AlGaN/GaN interface where the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is located near the gate contact. InfraRed (IR) Thermography was performed on our GaN on Si HEMT devices to measure Tpeak. Considering the correction in underestimation of Tpeak temperature, the MTTF was extracted. We also performed Raman measurements and Tpeak was evaluated with the aid of 3-Dimensional thermal simulations. The Tpeak difference between IR and Raman technique is more than 100°C and far from the evaluation of about 40-50°C often found in literature.

Three-port dc-dc converters are widely applicable in hybrid energy generating systems to provide substantial power to sensitive loads. One of the ports of the proposed converter is interfaced with a storage such as a battery which makes the converter capable of supplying the load even if the main renewable energy supply of the proposed converter (e.g. photovoltaic cells) is not able to generate power. The proposed converter operates in two operations of charging the battery port and the mode when the battery discharges to the load. In addition, it has ZVS operation for all utilized switches and can eliminate the input current ripple. The ZVS of the switches is provided by the leakage inductances of the used coupled inductors. Also, the voltage control of each of the terminals is achieved by three active switches. In this paper, the proposed topology is analyzed theoretically for all operating modes, also, the voltage and current equations of all components are calculated. Furthermore, the required soft switching and zero input currents ripple conditions are analyzed. Finally, the accuracy performance of the proposed converter and the analytical results is verified by the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation and experimental results for 1MHz switching frequency operation. Applying high frequency and using GaN Fets leads to achieve a more compact prototype of the proposed topology.","PeriodicalId":410411,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 9th Workshop on Wide Bandgap Power Devices & Applications (WiPDA)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116221628","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}
