Smart Solutions for 1500Voc 3-Level Central PV Inverters
An optimized intermediate voltage class IGBT blocking capability is commercially not available to support 1500 VDC applications. As a result, a 3-level topology based on 1200 V IGBTs is
For example, when 1700V class IGBT is being used in 1500V solar inverter system in 2-level or NPC2 topology, at a VCE utilization ratio over 88% the failure rate will be unacceptably high despite short exposure to such input voltage.
1500V solar inverter at megawatts level in NPC1 topology enabled by high-density IGBT module Centralized solar inverter applications in MW-class require high current rated modules or a high amount of paralleled modules.
An optimized intermediate voltage class IGBT blocking capability is commercially not available to support 1500 VDC applications. As a result, a 3-level topology based on 1200 V IGBTs is the preferred topology nowadays for inverters with DC-link voltages of up to 1500 VDC in the field of renewable energy applications.
For solar inverter applications, it is well known that insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) ofer benefits compared to other types of power devices, like high-current-carrying capability, gate control using voltage instead of current and the ability to match the co-pack diode with the IGBT.
