Abstract

A modular and scalable SiC MOSFET based universal power electronics regulator (UPER) allows coordinated integration of energy resources and loads, elimination of extra power conversion stages, and allowance of more sources or loads added with a simple plug and play feature. A comprehensive investigation has been conducted in term of the typical distributed generations and loads employed in buildings, in order to outline a detailed specification for UPER. Thus, a common DC bus voltage of 500 V and power rating of 3 kW are dedicatedly selected. The UPER hardware design and implementation are completely illustrated, including the static and dynamic characterization of the employed SiC MOSFET. The dedicated universal power cell and Plug-and-Play gate driver performs reliable continuous operation even exposed to an extreme fast switching speed (> 100 V/ns). The continuous operation of buck mode verified the UPER hardware development at 50 kHz with an overall efficiency of 98.19%. A new voltage polarity reversal phenomenon was also discovered in the verification of the isolated DAB stage with planar transformers.
