Analysis and Design of 3.3 kV IGBT Based Three-Level DC/DC Converter with High-Frequency Isolation and Current Doubler RectifierThe paper presents the findings of a R&D project connected to the development of auxiliary power supply (APS) for the high-voltage DC-fed rolling stock applications. The aim was to design a new-generation power converter utilizing high-voltage IGBT modules, which can outpace the predecessors in terms of power density, i.e. to provide more power for smaller volumetric space. The topology proposed is 3.3 kV IGBT-based three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) half-bridge with high-frequency isolation transformer and current doubler rectifier that fulfils all the targets imposed by the designers. Despite an increased component count the proposed converter is very simple in design and operation. The paper provides an overview of the design with several recommendations and guidelines. Moreover, the simulation and experimental results are discussed and the performance evaluation of the proposed converter is presented.

This paper presents a new power converter topology<br>generated by the integration of the asymmetrical ZVS-PWM dcdc converter with a switched-capacitor ladder-type commutation<br>cell. Circuit operation and theoretical analysis with emphasis on<br>the soft-commutation process are included in the paper. The<br>main advantage of the proposed converter with respect to the<br>conventional asymmetrical half-bridge dc-dc converter is the<br>reduction of the voltage stress across the power switches to the<br>half of the input dc bus voltage, enabling the utilization of lower<br>voltage rating components. Experiments conducted on a<br>laboratory prototype with 1.4 kW power-rating, 800 V input<br>voltage, 48 V output voltage and 100 kHz switching frequency<br>are included, to verify the theoretical analysis and the design<br>methodology. The maximum efficiency of the experimental nonoptimized prototype was 93.6%.<br>Index Terms - Asymmetrical dc-dc converter, pulse-widthmodulation, switched-capacitor, zero voltage switching.<div><br><br></div>

Abstract The modular multilevel converter (MMC) is a well-known solution for medium and high voltage high power converter systems. This paper deals with energy balancing of MMCs. The analysis includes multi-converter systems. In order to provide clear view, the MMC control system is divided into hierarchical levels. Details of control and balancing methods are discussed for each level separately. Finally, experimental results, based on multi-converter test setup, are presented.
