“…Thus, it is now possible to use these devices for various applications with the state‐of‐the‐art gate diver technologies. Furthermore, an MV solid‐state transformer (MV‐SST) is one of the critical areas where these devices have already been used [11]. These devices help to simplify the topology with a lower number of component counts, which further helps to increase the system efficiency and reliability.…”

The packaging technology for the medium-voltage silicon carbide (SiC)-metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFETs) has come a long way since its inception. Now, it is feasible to design half-bridge power modules based on 10-kV SiC-MOSFETs for higher current applications. This paves the way for many application areas for these devices, particularly for medium-voltage and high-power applications. This paper presents a design of a modular medium-voltage, high-power isolated DC-DC converter enabled by these 10-kV SiC-MOSFETs-based power modules. The design objectives are targeted at increasing the efficiency, power density, and interoperability. The proposed DC-DC converter is aimed for applications like DC distribution for the data centers, subsea power transmission, offshore wind farms, and photovoltaic energy transmission-distribution-coordination; electric ship DC power transmission; solid-state distribution transformer, etc.

“…This transformer is called the Mobile Utility Support Equipment-Based Solid-State Transformer (MUSE-SST). MUSE-SST is aimed at integrating a MV 4160-V grid to an LV 480-V grid as shown in Figure 2 [3]. While the overall aim of MUSE-SST is like that of TIPS, the project aims at validating the new generation of MV SiC MOSFETs.…”
