Design and Implementation of a Modular Bidirectional Switch Using SiC-MOSFET for Power Converter Applications

Abstract EN

The bidirectional switch (Bi-Sw) is a power device widely used by power conversion systems.

This paper presents a novel modular design of a Bi-Sw with the purpose of providing to beginner researchers the key issues to design a power converter.

The Bi-Sw has been designed in modular form using the SiC-MOSFET device.

The Bi-Sw uses the advantages of SiC-MOSFET to operate at high switching frequencies.

The verification of the module is carried out experimentally by means of the implementation in a voltage regulating converter, where performance analysis, power losses, and temperature dissipation are performed.
