Abstract

The use of SiC-based martials in fabricating power semiconductor devices has shown more interest than conventional silicon-based. Its promising abilities to improve the performance of power electronic systems made it a valuable choice in building high power DC-DC converters. This thesis presents the design and implementation of a three-phase bidirectional DC-DC Dual Active Bridge using SiC MOSFETs. The proposed circuit is first built in Matlab for simulation analysis. Then a phase shift modulation controller is designed in Simulink to test the simulation circuit. The controls are then integrated through an FPGA to test the prototype. Simulations and experimental results are evaluated to demonstrate the functionality and performance of the proposed circuit.
