Rafael Beltrame

Federal University of Santa Maria - UFSM

Received the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), Santa Maria, Brazil, in 2008, 2009 and 2012, respectively. He has been with the Power Electronics and Control Research Group (GEPOC), Federal University of Santa Maria, since 2005. Since 2013, he has been with the UFSM, where he is currently a Professor. His research interests include the synthesis and analysis of high-performance power converters, power amplifiers and renewable energy sources. Dr. Beltrame is a member of Brazilian Power Electronics Society (SOBRAEP), IEEE Power Electronics Society and IEEE Industrial Electronics Society.

Abstract

This paper presents the analysis, design and hardware implementation of a medium voltage gate-driver for a 3 kV IGBT application. The immediate application of such device is a 10 kW Electronic Transformer (Solid State... [ view full abstract ]
