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.
Printed circuit board

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 5­00kHz.

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