Matrix converters have many advantages, including high-efficiency, single-stage AC/AC energy conversion, bidirectional power flow, a near-unity input power factor, sinusoidal three-phase input currents, and sinusoidal three-phase output currents. However, matrix converters have 360 Hz voltage pulsations at the virtual DC-bus, which produce input harmonic currents and output harmonic currents, which cause unsatisfactory responses. To solve the problem of the input harmonic currents, a systematic design of an input three-phase current modulation method and an input three-phase AC filter that uses two different design methods are proposed. In addition, to improve dynamic responses, two predictive speed controllers are investigated and compared, and a predictive current controller is studied to reduce the output harmonic currents. A digital signal processor and an FPGA are used to execute the control algorithms. Several experimental results validate the theoretical analysis and show that the proposed methods effectively improve the power quality of the PMSM drive system and its input power-source quality.

“…Since 1970, the power density of power electronic converters in diverse operations has nearly doubled every ten years [4]. The primary agent of this trend was the proficiency to increase the switching frequency by a multiple of ten every decade, which was realized by the incessant improvement of power semiconductor device technologies [5]. This continual advancement of power density converters is portrayed by the demanded requirements for higher efficiency and reliability, volume reduction, lightweight materials, and costeffectiveness [6,7].…”

Investigating the Shielding Effect of Pulse Transformer Operation in Isolated Gate Drivers for SiC MOSFETs

Wide-bandgap technology evolution compels the advancement of efficient pulse-width gate-driver devices. Integrated enhanced gate-driver planar transformers are a source of electromagnetic disturbances due to inter-winding capacitances, which serve as a route to common-mode(CM) currents. This paper will simulate, via ANSYS Q3D Extractor, the unforeseen parasitic effects of a pulse planar transformer integrated in a SiC MOSFET gate-driver card. Moreover, the pulse transformer will be ameliorated by adding distinctive shielding layers aiming to suppress CM noise effects and endure high dv/dt occurrences intending to validate experimental tests. The correlation between stray capacitance and dv/dt immunity results after shielding insertion will be reported.

Limitations of Silicon (Si)-based devices have compelled us to use alternative devices for modern power electronics applications. Material attributes of wide-band-gap devices (such as GaN and SiC) possess the ability to bridge these gaps. They can be used for higher power applications and provide high power-density, high efficiency and better thermal performance. GaN-based devices in electric vehicle power modules make the vehicle more efficient, achieving an extended range for the same battery size. Worldwide, researchers and engineers are working on GaN-based power-electronics modules. On the one hand, the utilisation of GaN switches in power modules eliminates a few existing design concerns. While it also introduces new challenges for designers. Mere replacing Si with GaN doesn't give the stipulated result. This article identifies the works related to GaN-based DC-DC converter modules to determine how researchers address the circuit design issues with GaN. This paper presents a detailed description of the material benefits of GaN and paves the path of future work by identifying the research gap in the field of GaN-based DC-DC converters.INDEX TERMS Electric vehicle, Gallium nitride (GaN), high-frequency DC-DC converter, isolated converter, non-isolated converter, Wide-band-gap devices
