The integrated power system converter is a highpower voltage source inverter suitable for Naval applications which combines the innovative three-level neutral-point piloted topology with state-of-the art 4.5kV press-pack devices. The converter design has included an in depth semiconductor characterization of IGBT/diode press-pack devices from two manufacturers which have been used to study the interactions in the semiconductor and gating electronic interface. Simulation and lab results with an active snubber are shown and discussed. The paper also highlights aspects of the design which make it especially suitable for Naval applications.

“…Over the past ten years, there has been increased incorporation of power electronics converters in "more electric" cars, ships, and airplanes to replace thermo-mechanical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic primary and secondary power systems [2]- [9]. The goals have been to reduce the size, weight, and maintenance and operational costs of these power systems, while increasing efficiency, safety, reliability, and optimizing mission-specific objectives (payload, autonomy, survivability), as well as to enable the usage of alternative energy sources, e.g.…”

This paper accompanies an overview presentation at the ISIE 2010 Panel Session on "PEBB Concept in the Industrial Power Electronics Systems." Therefore, the talk and the paper use the material that was previously presented by the author elsewhere, primarily in the invited papers at PCIM 2005, and CIPS 2008 and 2010.The presentation addresses possible directions for the improvement of power processing technology through advanced integration. The central focus is to advance the integration of electromagnetic power passives, EMI filters, control, sensing, and interconnect structures in the power converters, in addition to the integration of the power semiconductor switch assemblies. The fundamental functions in electronic power processing, the materials, processes, partitioning and integration approaches, multi-disciplinary design optimization, and future concepts are discussed.

“…Contemporary trends in building the future power distribution systems, some led by the sustainability concerns and some for pure economic reasons, open a space for high penetration of power electronics converters in electricity production, transmission, distribution and in general, utilization [1][2][3][4][5]. These systems consist of a wide assortment of different power converters, usually made by different manufacturers, and design of such systems entirely relies on the information provided in the datasheets and manuals, experience of system engineers, and their ability to test the system under different operating conditions.…”

Frequency-domain terminal-behavioral modeling of ac systems is unquestionably attracting more and more interest in engineering practice. New electronic power distribution systems built for airplanes, ships, electric vehicles, data-centers and even homes, dominantly comprise a variety of power electronics converters with very different dynamic characteristics. If their behavior is not examined carefully before system is integrated, instability can become one of the major concerns. This paper addresses low-frequency terminal-behavioral modeling of three-phase converters which dynamics can be captured on-line, in a non-intrusive way, and later decoupled from the source and load in order to get un-terminated model of a particular converter (or a system). A few examples of different converters are given at the end to verify modeling and decoupling procedure with the average and switching models.
