Advances in Application of Silicon Carbide for High Power Electronics
Abstract
Power electronics designs are achievable with high temperature coolant and elevated ambient temperature The biggest drawback of this design has been the need for the Peltier cooling system, which can use up to 600W to cool the low-temperature electronics High temperature alternatives have been identified for many of the devices that currently reside in the cool compartment of the DCC10 An improved design eliminating the need for the Peltier system would keep the efficiency of the next generation of converter above 98% down to about 10kW
