Abstract :
The solid-state power converter markets are rapidly increasing due to the push for improved energy efficiency and reduced impact on the environment, using alternative and distributed energy generation. Power converters have a high growth opportunity, irrespective of low-voltage (LV) or medium-voltage (MV) technology. To meet these market expectations, designers and application specialists are forced to address both well-known and new technical hurdles.
