This paper presents an approach for the implementation of a modular and scalable power electronics device for controlling electric drives in the field of electric vehicles using wide bandgap semiconductor devices. The main idea is to achieve the required output currents or voltages by connecting adequately designed hardware modules in parallel or in series. This particular design is based on the fact that the single modules generate a continuous and specified output voltage from a given dc voltage, e.g. an intermediate circuit or battery voltage. The main benefit is, that different current or voltage requirements can be satisfied based on a single module thus decreasing development and production costs. The current paper focuses on the connection in parallel of such modules. A control architecture is illustrated and a first proof of concept is given.
This paper illustrates the implementation of series connected hardware modules as part of a scalable and modular power electronics device, which is ideally suited in the field of electric vehicles using wide bandgap semiconductor devices. The main benefit of the modular concept is that different current or voltage requirements can be satisfied based on the appropriate series or parallel connection of single modules. The particular design is based on the fact that the single modules generate a continuous and specified output voltage from a given dc voltage. The current work focuses on a brief classification of this work in different series connected concepts of power converters and in particular on an active damping approach for the series connected LC output filters based on inductor current feedback.
This contribution presents a three-phase power stage for motor control with continuous output voltages using wide bandgap semiconductors and an asynchronous delta-sigma based switching signal generation. The focus of the paper is on an active damping approach for the LC output filter based on inductor current feedback.
