| dc.description.abstract | With the advent of wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor devices, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions are more pronounced due to high slew rates in the form of high dv/dt and high di/dt at higher switching frequencies compared to the traditional silicon technology. To comply with the stringent conducted emission requirements, EMI filters are adopted to attenuate the high frequency common mode (CM) and differential mode (DM) noise through the propagation path. However, self and mutual parasitic components are known to degrade the EMI filter performance. While parasitic cancellation techniques have been discussed at length in prior literature, most of them have focused mainly on single phase applications. As such this work focuses on extending the preexisting concepts to three-phase systems. Novel component placement, winding strategy as well as shielding and grounding techniques were developed to desensitize the influence of the parasitic effects on a three-phase multi-stage filter. The effectiveness of the three-phase filter structure employing the proposed methodologies has been validated via noise measurements at the line impedance stabilization network (LISN) in a 15kW rated motor drive system. Consequently, general design guidelines have been formulated for filter topologies with different inductor and capacitor form-factors. | en |
| dc.description.abstractgeneral | The adoption of wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor devices, such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) or Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistors, improves the power density with higher slew rates and switching frequencies compared to the traditional Silicon technology. However, the high switching speeds and high frequencies have generated higher electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise in the surroundings. To comply with the conducted emission requirements at the grid terminal, EMI filter is mandatory to attenuate the high frequency EMI noise that flows into grid. However, near field and the effect of parasitic components are known to degrade the filter performance at the higher end of frequency spectrum where the limit lines are typically stringent. While parasitic cancellation techniques have been discussed at length in prior literature, most of them has focused mainly on single phase applications. Therefore, this thesis aims to extend the pre-existing concepts to compensate the mutual and self-parasitic coupling components in a three-phase multi-stage filter. In this regard, novel component placement, winding strategy as well as shielding and grounding techniques were developed to compensate for the parasitic effects in a three- phase multi-stage filter. The effectiveness of the three-phase filter structure employing the proposed methodologies has been validated in a 15kW rated motor drive system. Consequently, general design guidelines have been formulated for filter design with minimal parasitic effects. | en |
