AC2DC-Converting AC connections to DC connections with higher power transmission

Research & Development

  • Investigation of the external connection mechanism for measuring the voltage drop of power semiconductors during operation
  • Evaluation of different modulations in the MMC and their effects on the DC side current and on the wiring of the converter.
  • Investigation of protection strategies using the temperature inference of the device based on its TSEP.
  • Develop a methodology that correlates the temperature of the device and the circulating current
