Abstract

This work features a highly efficient high power density dc-dc converter based on a soft switching capable, dual-active-bridge topology. Moreover, to reduce switching losses at high frequencies and consequently minimize the size of the passive components, modern 1200 V silicon carbide half bridge modules are used. Furthermore, to decrease the size of the cooling apparatus, compact 3D-printed fluid coolers are utilized. These measures that has been stated previously resulted in a highly integrated active part of the converter with a total box volume of 8 dm<sup>3</sup> including the semiconductor switches, capacitors and sensors for a 200 kW unit. The first prototype shows a power density capability of 6.48 kW/dm<sup>3</sup> at a maximum power output of 201 kW. The design of this converter and its advanced cooling concept as well as in-operation measurements will be presented.
