Finally, the loss models were used to compute losses in a
13 kV, 1 MW CNT. It was found that the hybrid Si/SiC
diode co-packs are superior in overall performance than their
counterparts for the give application. Due, mainly, to the
lower switching-loss-to-conduction-loss ratio as compared to
VSI-based topologies.
The results presented in this research are applicable to a
wide variety of direct AC/AC converters including Matrix
converters, AC choppers, and CNT.
