  • P1.1: A Single-Stage Bidirectional Dual-Active-Bridge AC-DC Converter Based on Enhancement Mode GaN Power Transistor

    • Presenter: Tianxiang Chen

    • Introduction:This  paper presents a high  step-down ratio single-stage  AC-DC converter based on GaN  HEMT and dual-active-bridge (DAB)  topology. Compare with two-stage solution, single-stage could realize higher theoretical efficiency and lower cost to overall system.

  • P1.4: Photovoltaic Operating in Synchronous Generator (PVSG)

    • Presenter: Xiangjun Quan

    • Introduction: A concept of making the PV generator operate like a virtual synchronous generator is proposed. For the single-phase system, a smart and autonomous integration concept for DC microgrids into the legacy AC grid is proposed based on the Virtual Synchronous Machine (VSM) concept.

  • P1.6: Comprehensive Analysis of Trade-off between Noise and Wide Band-Gap (WBG) Device Switching Speed

    • Presenter: Pengkun Liu

    • Introduction: This paper focuses on analysis mechanism of the PWM and gate noise pulse in fast switching half-bridge (HB) circuits. Analytical models of noises and quantitative relationship between noises and voltage, current slew rate (dv/dt, di/dt) are derived to address the switching speed limitation from noise point of view. An exhaustive investigation into the impact of circuit parameters on the limitation is conducted and the design consideration for improving the switching speed limitation is given.

       

  • P1.7: GUI based Automatic Tester with A Novel Heating Method for Power Semiconductor Device Dynamic Measurement

    • Presenter: Qingxuan Ma

    • Introduction: In this paper, a low stray inductance tester with device heating system is presented, which could heat the DUT up to 175℃. An automatic control system is designed, so that various experiments could be conducted automatically.
