SALSA

Within the project SALSA, various DC-DC and DC-AC SiC converter applications are being developed, in which various analysis are carried out to optimize switching behavior, power density and efficiency. In the project, the possibility of improving the performance of converters using wide-bandgap technology is to be comprehensively utilized and demonstrated using selected application examples.

The aim is to

  • find solutions for the operation of a SiC converter with flexibly adjustable dV/dT values over a wide range,
  • demonstrate the world's most compact three-phase grid inverter through optimal interaction of topology and control method, and
  • demonstrate a highly compact three-phase resonant converter in the power range up to 120kW with switching frequencies of at least 400kHz.

Silicon Austria Labs GmbH is working on this project together with AVL List GmbH and FH JOANNEUM GmbH.
