This paper looks at the benefits of tandem diodes in sixpack and PIM topologies. The smart pairing of diodes with lower dynamic loss coefficients provides a cost effective alternative to WBG devices.

Heavy-duty vehicles contribute about 25% of traffic emissions. To electrify them, batteries of e.g., urban buses need to be loaded fast without interrupting the operation – demanding highly efficient, reliable electric subsystems.

MVDC grids are increasingly present in the existing AC systems regarding integration of renewable energy resources. This creates the need to master the design of medium-frequency transformers, one of the key components of modern DC transformers.

Layout optimization of power electronic switching cells is important for the design of high-efficiency fast-switching power converters. Using the developed virtual prototype, the layout design is optimized to achieve lower switching losses.
