Description du projet/ Project
Description
The present work aims at finding all
possible methods by which the
reliability of high density power
electronics converters can be achieved.
New techniques of magnetic field
orientation will be developed and
applied to matrix converters topology
for high density packaging power
electronics.
Objectifs/ Objectives
1) Development of accurate
electromagnetic models which permit the
simulation of magnetic field in layout
matrix converter topology in order to
integrate low level power electronics.
2) Development of robust control of
matrix converter taking into account
device commutation to reduce loss while
operating at high frequency and high
reliability
3) Failure analysis of matrix converter
topology and development of remedial
control strategy in failure mode
operation
4) Development of high density prototype
based on Mosfet devices, which integrate
the newly high efficient matrix
converter topology with its controllers
5) Test (magnetic, thermal, failure) and
evaluation of the prototype
6) Interested manufacturers for
commercializing the technology
