Journal ArticleDOI
Series connection of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs)
TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid voltage-balancing technique was proposed to optimize the number of IGBTs in a series string in terms of power losses, which can achieve good voltage balancing with a minimum number of components and minimum total losses.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Igbt Parameter Extraction for the Hefner IGBT Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a method to extract eleven different IGBT parameters required for the Hefner IGBT model, including three different parameters of 3.3 kV/1200 A IGBT.
Proceedings Article
Hybrid low loss voltage balancing method for series connection of IGBTs
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid voltage balancing method suitable for use with series strings of IGBT is described, which combines active gate control with passive snubber circuits to yield a simple gate control circuit and to minimise the switching power losses.
