Abstract:This paper discusses bidirectional step-down topologies that enable the interface of the 400V unipolar DC microgrid with the European low-voltage three-phase AC grid. The study compares three single-stage non-isolated topologies, namely, the seven-switch buck converter, Swiss converter, and Y-converter, based on semiconductor stresses and losses, magnetic component sizes and losses, and heat sink sizes. The analysis is conducted for a 10kW converter designed for small commercial or residential use. The results… Show more
