Abstract Scope |
Power electronics converters rely significantly on transformers to achieve a variety of functions such as power flow control and voltage level conversion. Often, the transformer is also used to meet regulatory requirements such as galvanic isolation between the grid and distributed energy resources. Modern power converters have advanced significantly with new wide band-gap power semiconductors. In order to leverage the full capabilities of this advancement, the magnetic components must meet significant performance metrics. This presentation will provide details and guidelines for leveraging the latest in magnetic material research for component design for power converters. We will demonstrate how a materials driven design approach leads to a more optimized magnetic component which can ultimately drive the overall converter performance and remove the magnetic component bottleneck that exists in current design practices. This work will highlight the steps that are presented in a forthcoming book chapter by the authors. |
