Power Loss Modelling and Performance Comparison of Three-Level GaN-Based Inverters Used for Electric Traction

Power Loss Modelling and Performance Comparison of Three-Level GaN-Based Inverters Used for Electric Traction

The main aim of this work is to present a step-by-step procedure to model and analyze the power loss distribution of three-level Gallium Nitride (GaN) inverters. It has been applied to three distinct three-phase three-level voltage source inverters utilized in electric traction drives: Active Neutra...
