title = "SiC-MOSFET based single phase AC to DC PWM converter",
abstract = "Single phase AC to DC converters are essential parts of any modern electrical, electronic, computer, communication and automation systems. These units will be powering the systems all the day through the year. Millions of such units are in operation through the world. So these units must be compact, efficient and reliable. This research paper presents efficient AC to DC PWM converters based on modern devices like Silicon Carbide-MOSFET. The SiC-MOSFET is highly efficient and also allows higher switching frequency compared to Silicon-MOSFET. Novel closed loop vector control algorithm on synchronous rotating d-q axes is developed and presented. The proposed closed loop vector control AC to DC converter system is simulated and results are presented. Switching and conduction losses for the SiC-MOSFETs are estimated and compared with that of Silicon based device to demonstrate the improved efficiency.",
