This reference design is a replacement for the now obsolete TIDA-010039
TIDA-01606
11-kW, bidirectional three-phase three-level (T-type) inverter and PFC reference design
TIDA-01606
Overview
This reference design provides an overview on how to implement a bidirectional three-level, three-phase, SiC-based active front end (AFE) inverter and power factor correction (PFC) stage. The design uses switching frequency up to 90kHz and an LCL output filter to reduce the size of the magnetics. A peak efficiency of 98.6% is achieved. The design shows how to implement a complete three-phase AFE control in the DQ domain. This bidirectional converter enables both DC fast charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications.
Features
- Rated nominal and maximum input voltage at 800V and 900VDC, maximum power 11kW, 11kVA at 400VL-L AC, 50Hz or 60Hz
- Compact output LCL filter with switching frequency of 90kHz
- < 2.5% output current total harmonic distortion (THD) at full load
- Isolated driver UCC21710 with reinforced isolation for driving high-voltage SiC MOSFET and UCC5350 for driving middle SiC MOSFET
- Isolated current sensing using TMCS1123 for load current control and monitoring
- TMS320F28379D and TMS320F280039C control cards for digital control with Trigonometric Math Unit (TMU) to accelerate Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) computation, comparator sub-system for protection implementation and Control Law Accelerator (CLA) to offload the control loops to the coprocessor
