First Optically-Controlled High Frequency SiC Converter Heading link

First Optically-Controlled High Frequency SiC Converter
Optical control of power MOSFETs can provide several improvements in system parameters including reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI), robust electrical separation, and separation of power and control stages. Control signals, by necessity, have very large di/dt and dv/dt values, which initiate noise problems in the power stage and can have coupling effects. Moving these signals to fiber-optic transmission reduces EMI and cross-talk effects. An optical link also allows the control and driver stages of a converter to remain separate, which can be useful for high-temperature power electronics. Such applications have become increasingly important and pervasive as power semiconductor devices (PSDs) have transitioned to wide-bandgap materials (such as SiC and GaN) enabling the power converters to operate at temperatures once thought extreme for Si based power devices and also providing multi-fold improvements in many metrics of the switched-mode converters encompassing switching frequency and power density. Towards that end, a solution to the optical control of a power SiC MOSFET and high-frequency SiC power converter is presented.

Zero-Ripple Filter Based Inverter Heading link

Patented Zero-Ripple Filter Based Inverter
Power conditioning system for energy sources
Patent number: 7372709
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus for conditioning power generated by an energy source. The apparatus includes an inverter for converting a DC input voltage from the energy source to a square wave AC output voltage, and a converter for converting the AC output voltage from the inverter to a sine wave AC output voltage. A key aspect of the technology pertains to the integration of a ripple-mitigating active filter (power decoupler) that mitigates low and high frequency current ripples that may otherwise affect the operation, durability, and energy efficiency of a DC energy source.
