Future Vision of Phase 3
MV Grid
 Wide band gap devices such as SiC and
GaN operates at high frequency,
temperature
 SiC helps in shift the device capability in
MW, kHz and kV range
 Opens the gate way to develop single
converter of MW range with high power
density.
 Solar PV is most important player in
renewable sector , expanding at a very
high rate.
 Low frequency transformer can be
eliminated by medium frequency
transformer using Silicon Carbide (SiC)
based Medium Voltage (MV) connected
PV inverters for mega plants
MV SiC Converters
MV Laboratory Set up
Facilities : Tools for Cutting Edge Research
Thank You !
