Performance benchmark of Si IGBTs vs. SiC MOSFETs in small-scale wind energy conversion systems (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussein, A., Castellazzi, A., Wheeler, P., & Klumpner, C. Performance benchmark of Si IGBTs vs. SiC MOSFETs in small-scale wind energy conversion systems. Presented at 17th International Conference on Power Electronics and Motion Control

Modern power electronics devices based on SiC power MOSFETs technology become more demanding in the last few years. They show better performance over Si-IGBTs on renewable energy power conversion systems due to their higher switching frequency, highe...
