Silicon carbide benefits and advantages for power electronics circuits and systems
Ahmed Elasser,T.P. Chow +1 more
TL;DR: The benefits of using SiC in power electronics applications are looked at, the current state of the art of SiC is reviewed, and how SiC can be a strong and viable candidate for future power electronics and systems applications are shown.
A Comparative Evaluation of New Silicon Carbide Diodes and State-of-the-Art Silicon Diodes for Power Electronic Applications
Ahmed Elasser,Mustansir H. Kheraluwala,Mario Ghezzo,Robert Louis Steigerwald,Nicole Krishnamurthy,James W. Kretchmer,T.P. Chow +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of diode reverse recovery on the turn-on losses of a fast WARP/sup TM/IGBT was compared with state-of-the-art silicon diodes.

Ahmed Elasser,Mustansir H. Kheraluwala,Mario Ghezzo,Robert Louis Steigerwald,Nicole Krishnamurthy,James W. Kretchmer,T.P. Chow +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of diode reverse recovery on the turn-on losses of a fast WARP/sup TM/IGBT was studied both at room temperature and at 150/spl deg/C.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Efficient Partial Power Processing DC/DC Converter for Distributed PV Architectures
Mohammed Agamy,Maja Harfman-Todorovic,Ahmed Elasser,Song Chi,Robert Louis Steigerwald,J.A. Sabate,Adam McCann,Li Zhang,Frank Jakob John Mueller +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a dc/dc power converter for distributed photovoltaic (PV) plant architectures is presented, which has the advantages of simplicity, high efficiency, and low cost.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Soft switching active snubbers for DC/DC converters
Ahmed Elasser,David A. Torrey +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a soft switching active snubber is proposed to reduce the turn-off losses of the IGBT in a current-mode controlled buck power converter, which can operate at high frequencies, with low EMI and an improved RBSOA.
