摘要: In this paper, a new type of hybrid switching device with parallel connection SiC and Si active switches, such as “SiC JFET + IGBTs” or MOSFET IGBTs”, is introduced applied to 250kW back-to-back Voltage Source Converter (VSC). Considering the different speeds output characteristics devices in structure, novel optimal pattern proposed enable Zero Switching (ZVS) for IGBTs. This optimally utilizes better conduction lower loss based on instantaneous load current values, therefore significantly reduces semiconductor losses comparison conventional all-Si VSCs. Simulations converters namely, are carried out PLECS environment. Simulation results illustrate that overall efficiency VSC can be improved by up 4.8% if replaced “SiC+Si” pattern.
