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 mathematical model of the physical system has been derived to carry out real-time simulations of LRTS, which takes into consideration the actual two-quadrant speed versus torque characteristics of a typical traction motor drive. Power losses and thermal performance of SiC power MOSFET modules have been assessed in comparison with those of the alternative Hybrid-IGBT and Si-IGBT modules for various switching frequencies, and their advantages have been considered in view of converter design objectives. This analysis is also repeated for three-level converter topologies in order to visualize the effect of SiC power MOSFETs on converter topology selection. Implementation techniques of the resulting converter power stage, involving the DC and AC laminated busbars, the general layout, and associated cooling system, have been paid special attention. The application method of the space vector PWM technique for operation under variable DC catenary voltages over a wide range has been uniquely described. The associated experimental results were taken on the developed all-SiC power MOSFET-based traction inverter and full-scale physical simulator for LRTS. Very promising results have been obtained on the track of converter design objectives in terms of performance criteria such as very high efficiency, low motor line current total demand distortion, low cooling requirement, relatively high switching frequency, and hence ease of controller implementation.

All-SiC Traction Converter for Light Rail Transportation Systems: Design Methodology and Development of 165 kVA Prototype
Yıldırım, Doğan; Akşit, Mehmet Hakan; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK; Ermiş, Muammer (2022-5-01)
The design and development of a high-performance 165 kVA, 750 V DC all-silicon carbide (SiC) traction converter for new generation light rail transportation systems (LRTSs) are described. In the design of the traction motor drive, the efficiency of the overall system is maximized and the line current harmonic content of the traction motor is minimized. A complete mathematical model of the physical system is derived to carry out real-time simulations and proper control of the LRTS on a real rail track. The e...
All SiC PWM rectifier-based off-board ultrafast charger for heavy electric vehicles
Yildirim, Dogan; Ozturk, Serkan; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK; Ermiş, Muammer (2020-02-19)
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 d...

This article deals with the design and laboratory implementation of a full-scale physical simulator of an all-silicon carbide (SiC) traction motor drive for light-rail transit systems (LRTS) with onboard supercapacitor energy storage system (ESS). It consists of a pulsewidth modulation (PWM) rectifier representing the 750 V dc catenary line, a three-phase two-level PWM traction inverter to drive a three-phase squirrel-cage traction motor, a flywheel coupled to the motor shaft to represent the dynamic behavi...
A unity-power-factor buck-type PWM rectifier for medium/high-power DC motor drive applications
Bilgin, HF; Kose, KN; Zenginobuz, G; Ermiş, Muammer; Nalcaci, E; Cadirci, I; Kose, H (2002-09-01)
This paper describes the application of a single-stage unity-power-factor buck-type pulsewidth modulation (PWM) rectifier to medium- and high-power variable-speed dc motor drives. The advantages of the developed system are low harmonic distortion in ac supply currents (complying with IEEE Std. 519 and IEC 555), nearly unity power factor over a wide operating shaft speed range, and nearly level armature current and voltage waveforms. These properties of output voltage and current quantities of the converter ...
All SiC Grid-Connected PV Supply with HF Link MPPT Converter: System Design Methodology and Development of a 20 kHz, 25 kVA Prototype
ÖZTÜRK, SERKAN; Canver, Mehmet; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK; Ermiş, Muammer (2018-06-01)
Design methodology and implementation of an all SiC power semiconductor-based, grid-connected multi-string photovoltaic (PV) supply with an isolated high frequency (HF) link maximum power point tracker (MPPT) have been described. This system configuration makes possible the use of a simple and reliable two-level voltage source inverter (VSI) topology for grid connection, owing to the galvanic isolation provided by the HF transformer. This topology provides a viable alternative to the commonly used non-isola...
