“…Fig. 5 shows that this will result in slightly higher conduction losses when compared to other existing or proposed SSBTS topologies like [8], [13], [16], [17]. Nevertheless, the SSBTS is a device the role of which is to provide a first line of defence against faults in the PDN in which it is installed.…”

The need to increase efficiency and reduce operating cost of shipboard DC power distribution networks results in a desire to increase the operating voltage of such installations to the medium voltage levels. Devices such as solid state bus-tie switches are an essential component of such systems, as they allow for system reconfigurations and prevent fault propagation across different sections of the system. This paper presents a scalable solid state bus-tie switch topology designed initially for low voltage power distribution networks, but easily scalable in terms of voltage and current. The use of a single active device greatly increases simplicity and reliability of the solution. The ability to extend the current and voltage ratings has been verified on the prototypes through extensive experimental tests in parallel and series connection, respectively. Several methods for fault detection are discussed and further verified experimentally.

“…However, the voltage variation can be even larger, since standards are currently under definition for civil more electric aircraft and converter operation with degraded performances may be required at lower voltage values. Additionally, the converter has to be able to provide the full power for a certain amount of time when a short circuit fault happens on DC buses to allow the circuit breakers to operate [28], [29]. This requirements can also be applied to Solid State Power Controllers (SSPC), as for example the SPDC130D28 from Sensitron Semiconductor [30], which usually use its I 2 t curve to trip operations in case of fault.…”

“…The application of wide bandgap (WBG) devices in MEA applications is currently an active research and development topic in both academic and industrial circles [1,2]. Silicon IGBTs have been the traditional device technology of choice for power conversion, however, improved switching performance of FET devices, particularly WBG devices has made them contenders in aerospace applications.…”
