Modern Power Converters With Wide-bandgap Devices for Renewable Grid Interfaces: a High-frequency, Multilevel Architecture for Ultra-efficient Energy Transfer and Thermal Reliability
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: As renewable energy systems expand globally, the demand for efficient, compact, and thermally reliable power converters has intensified. This paper explores the integration of wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor devices, such as SiC and GaN, into high-frequency, multilevel power converter architectures tailored for grid-connected renewable energy applications. The research highlights improvements in energy transfer efficiency, power density, and thermal management made possible by these advanced materials. Furthermore, a novel multilevel topology is proposed and evaluated through thermal and switching performance comparisons with traditional silicon-based systems.
