This study deals with the design, implementation and experimental performance of all silicon carbide pulse width modulation (SiC PWM) rectifier-based off-board ultrafast chargers (UFCs) for lithium titanate batteries of heavy electric vehicles. Different UFC configurations are proposed, depending upon the nominal battery voltage (400-1000 V DC) and charge capacity. Operating principles and control of UFC at unity and leading power factors are assessed and corresponding operating modes of PWM rectifier are discussed. The combined effect of reverse conduction characteristic of SiC power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) and built-in SiC Schottky diode is taken into account in all the analyses carried out. The operating performance of the developed UFC, such as the switching characteristics of SiC power MOSFET modules, efficiency, input current total demand distortion (ITDD), and thermal limitations of the SiC PWM rectifier have been assessed for various charge voltages and charge capacities, both by computer simulations and laboratory tests. Power circuit layout considerations of the proposed system are also given in this study. Excellent performance results for 10 kHz switching frequency are obtained from the developed 200 kW UFC, with operating efficiencies higher than 98.5% for all charging rates up to five times the battery capacity, and ITDDs <2.2% for the whole operating range.

A three phase all sic PWM rectifier for industry applications Yolaçan, Cem; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this thesis work, a three phase PWM Rectifier for industry applications will be designed by using SiC Power MOSFETs and its laboratory prototype will then be implemented. The topology of the PWM rectifier is the three phase full bridge topology to convert three phase 400 V AC line-to-line voltage to desirable voltage levels between 500V and 1000V. The PWM Rectifier has the capability of permitting the flow of active power in both directions. The new technology SiC Power MOSFETs can operate at higher freq...
A Basic Power Electronic Laboratory Experiment Allowing Comprehensive and Structured Learning: Multi-Phase Capacitive Loaded Full-Bridge Rectifier Oztoprak, Oguzhan; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2018-08-30) This paper provides a compact and fundamental level power electronics laboratory experiment about capacitive loaded three single-phase full-bridge diode rectifiers. While the procedure of the experiment is simple, the experiment provides wide range of opportunities for comprehensive learning on the important aspects of power electronics. The nonlinear circuit behavior of the rectifier and performance characterization are demonstrated as the conventional experiments. Moreover, the influence of the power sour...
A Self-Powered and Efficient Rectifier for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2014-11-05) This paper presents an interface circuit for efficient rectification of voltages from electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters operating with very low vibration frequencies. The interface utilizes a dual-rail AC/DC doubler which benefits from the full cycle of the input AC voltage, and minimizes the forward bias voltage drop with an active diode structure. The active diodes are powered through an AC/DC quadrupler with diode connected (passive) transistors. The interface system has been validated to drive 22 m...
ALL SIC TRACTION CONVERTER FOR LIGHT RAIL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS: DESIGN METHODOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT OF A 500 - 900 VDC, 165 KVA PROTOTYPE YILDIRIM, Doğan; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-24) Design methodology and development of a 165 kVA, all-silicon carbide (SiC) traction converter for new generation light rail transportation systems (LRTS) have been carried out in this thesis. Electrical, mechanical, and thermal design principles of all-SiC power MOSFET-based traction converter have been described in detail. In order to verify the produced converter, design and implementation of a full-scale physical simulator of an all-SiC traction motor drive for LRTS have been performed. A complete mathem...
Highly Integrated 3 V Supply Electronics for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters With Minimum 0.4 V-peak Input Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2017-07-01) This paper presents a self-powered interface enabling battery-like operation with a regulated 3 V output from ac signals as low as 0.4 V-peak, generated by electromagnetic energy harvesters under low frequency vibrations. As the first stage of the 180 nm standard CMOS circuit, harvested signal is rectified through an ac/dc doubler with active diodes powered internally by a passive ac/dc quadrupler. The voltage is boosted in the second stage through a low voltage charge pump stimulated by an on-chip ring osc...
