The connection of photovoltaic sources to a medium voltage dc collection network requires a dc-dc converter having specific grid-connected converter capabilities. This article presents the application of a phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) converter for medium voltage dc collection networks suited to photovoltaic power plants. The unidirectional structure of the converter is beneficial in terms of cost and simplicity of hardware implementation of the MV circuit components. The design of the PSFB converter is presented considering ratings of 250 kW power, 1.2 kV input, and 20 kV output. A converter model and a novel PSFB input voltage control regulating the dc-link voltage are developed and verified. A tuning method is given taking into account the effect of different transformer leakage inductance values. The behaviour of the PSFB under the PV power production profile and MV network faults is studied in simulation and verified against a reduced-scale prototype with ratings of 30 kW and 350 V / 600 V operating at 20 kHz. The experimental verification of the control is performed considering a real PV power profile. The experimental results under faults show the same response as in simulations. The PSFB fault response is observed to be superior compared to other dc-dc topologies with capacitive output filter only, making it suitable for gridconnected operation.INDEX TERMS DC-DC power converters, photovoltaic systems, medium voltage.

“…To solve the issues of time‐space inflexibility and the electrical hazard, virtual simulation technology had been investigated for the practical power electronics courses. Lagier et al [14] compared the performance of different virtual simulation tools at different design stages for an isolated direct current (DC)–DC converter. In Aktaş & Çavuş [2], an educational interface was developed as a virtual simulation tool for learning vector control of AC motors with MATLAB GUI.…”

The potential electrical hazard, the unreal experience, and the time-space inflexibility of the existing practical learning equipment are the barriers to the development of power electronics courses. To address these, this article introduces a mobile semi-physical experiment platform using Pocket Bench.The Pocket Bench is an ultra-compact Hardware-In-the-Loop real-time simulator, which can emulate the power electronic circuit with a 1.25 μs time step, and provide real-time response signals to the physical controller. As the dangerous electrical power flow in the power electronic circuit is emulated in real-time, the electrical hazards are eliminated. In practical learning, the students can implement the semi-physical experiment system quickly by connecting the physical controller to the simulator. With the physical
