Performance Comparison Between SiC Two-Level and Si Three-Level AFE Converters with Grid Filters

Advancement in semiconductors and power electronics industry along with new topology types for different application has provided new possibilities for more optimal designs. There is a lot of work in the literature focusing on comparing different topologies and switch types in one aspect of design such as power losses or EMC results. However, a generic consideration of all design criteria measures is missing. This paper compares two topology types and semiconductors for Active Front End (AFE) converters.
