Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a promising new material for high power high temperature electronics applications. SiC Schottky diodes are already finding wide acceptance in designing high efficiency power electronic systems. We present TCAD and Verilog-A based modeling of SiC DMOSFET, and the design and analysis of a medium power DC-DC converter designed using SiC power DMOSFETs and SiC Schottky diodes. The system is designed as a 300W boost converter with a 12V input and 24V/36V outputs. The SiC power converter is compared to another designed with commercially available Silicon power devices to evaluate power dissipation in the DMOSFETs, transient response of the system and its conversion efficiency. SiC DMOSFETs are characterized at high temperature by developing temperature dependent TCAD and Verilog-A models for the device. Detailed TCAD modeling allows probing inside the device for understanding the physical processes of transport, whereas Verilog-A modeling allows us to define the complex relationship of interface traps and surface physics that is typical to SiC DMOSFETs in a compact analytical format that is suitable for inclusion in commercially available circuit simulators.

This paper describes the design and field application of a high-efficiency single-phase AC/DC converter that is suitable for distribution lines. First, an appropriate AC/DC converter was designed in consideration of the environment of the application system. In order to ensure high efficiency and high reliability, we designed an optimum switching element and capacitor suitable for the converter, and the protection element of the AC/DC converter was designed based on these elements. The control function for the power converter suitable for an LVDC distribution system is proposed for highly reliable operation. The AC/DC converter was manufactured based on the design and its performance was verified during application in an actual low-voltage DC (LVDC) distribution grid through tests at the demonstration site. The application to a DC distribution system in an actual grid is very rare and it is expected that it will contribute to the expansion of LVDC distribution.

Operational Range

Dual interleaved LLC resonant converter with half bridge topology of main circuit characterized by high switching frequency (500 kHz), high power density (60 W/inch3) and high efficiency (above 96 %) over entire operational range (20 %–100 %) is described. Focus was given on the practical design of power converter, which will be able to fulfil requirements on wide load range operation characterized by upcoming normative. Since proposed topology is based on dual interleaved LLC converter, the resonant component´s critical tolerance was also investigated to secure reliable and optimal operational point. Consequently, proposals for elimination of intolerance negative impact are also described. The results of theoretical analysis were verified directly through experimental measurements. Experimental results are finally compared with upcoming industrial standard 80 Plus Titanium.
