“…For application in the mega-watt power range, 2L-VSCs are paralleled to overcome the physical limitations of the semiconductor switches [6]. Multilevel converters are popular in research for high power applications but with a large number of switches, such topologies are subjected to topological complexities and reduced reliability [1,7]. Three-phase uncontrolled diode rectifiers are rugged and simple but they inherently produce unwanted harmonics resulting in generator torque ripples [8].…”

High power rated modern wind generators are demanding immaculate performance and greater reliability from the power electronics interface. In order to keep up to the challenges, advanced multilevel front-end rectifiers and parallel operation of rectifiers are researched. A higher number of semiconductor switches make reliability estimation and feasibility of converters a factor of industrial interrogation. This study focuses on the operation, reliability, and economic feasibility analysis of a parallel unity power factor rectifier (PUPFR). Each branch of the PUPFR has a three-phase diode rectifier and each phase of which is equipped with bidirectional switching blocks. Suitability of uninterrupted operation with lower down-time for instances of one branch failure, the system discussed provides higher feasibility, reliability, and options of modularity. The reliability is assessed by quantifying the failure rate of each component of the converter topology. The feasibility analysis of the PUPFR focuses on quantitative evaluation based on component pricing for initial cost, maintenance, power-loss calculation, operational cost, and capacity factor. The PUPFR is comparatively assessed with respect to its single branch topology, i.e. the unity power factor rectifier. Both the topologies are simulated in MATLAB ® /Simulink and the system is experimentally validated on a 1 kW hardware setup.

“…The use of Bi-Sws is mainly demanded by power converters. Power converters using Bi-Sw include alternating voltage regulators, voltage source inverters (VSI) [3], converters with back-to-back power storage units [4], and multiples topologies of direct and indirect matrix converters found in the literature [5][6][7][8], topics that are of great interest to researchers today. Depending on the aforementioned applications, the Bi-Sws are demanded in different quantities and electrical characteristics.…”

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.
