Performance benchmark of Si IGBTs vs. SiC MOSFETs in small-scale wind energy conversion systems (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Hussein, A., Castellazzi, A., Wheeler, P., & Klumpner, C. (in press). Performance benchmark of Si IGBTs vs. SiC MOSFETs in small-scale wind energy conversion systems.

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...
