Three-phase power-factor-correction (PFC) rectifiers or motor drive inverters can be realized
using two dual converter topologies featuring either a voltage DC-link (voltage source) or a …

In addition to the actual semiconductor components and the cooling solutions required to
dissipate losses, passive components account for a large part of the volume of power …

The recent availability of novel monolithic bidirectional GaN switches (MBDSs) renders
current-source converters (CSCs) with their inherently sinusoidal output voltages an …

Because of the specific features of wide-bandgap switches like GaN and SiC, the current
source inverter is increasingly becoming a competitor to the voltage source topology …

Single-phase-input variable-speed drives (VSDs) for three-phase motors typically employ
bulky dc-link capacitors for buffering the inherent power pulsations at twice the mains …

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, which has led to higher demands for on-
board chargers (OBCs) that have to be compact, efficient, and compatible with different …

The high achievable switching speeds of wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor devices
based on silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) are a key characteristic to reduce …

This paper presents a novel test method for measuring the switching losses of current-
source inverters (CSIs). The double-pulse test cell for CSIs, already described in several …

Variable speed drives (VSDs) operating from a common dc bus enable significant energy
savings in variableload centrifugal systems like pumps and compressors. Ideally, VSDs …
