The book focuses on enabling technologies, which are heavily reliant on power electronics. While LVDC and HVDC applications are now industrial reality, MVDC has yet to develop, despite being highly relevant for various applications. Chapters within this book address a cohort of technologies that are directly or indirectly considered enabling for the MVDC applications. The book is a must-buy reference for practitioners and applied researchers working with MVDC applications.
- Reviews a cohort of enabling technologies key to MVDC emergence, including the semiconductors and converter topologies relevant for MVDC applications, protection in DC systems, insulation coordination, design optimization and relevant design toolchains, and MVDC power distribution networks
- Supported by relevant mathematical and illustrative examples of simulation results from the offline simulations software, e.g., PLECS
- Developed by highly experienced researchers in the medium voltage field with critical industrial experience
Applied researchers and practitioners in power electronics interested in the commercialization potential of MVDC applications, Decision-makers in the energy sector will also benefit and be in position to realize these systems in practice, Early career power electronics researchers and engineers with particular interest in the field of medium voltage power electronics and applications
