This article proposes a 10kW string inverter based on GaN field-effect transistors (FETs). We will also explore the benefits of GaN and highlight the advantages of building such a system for residential solar applications.
[pdf] Abstract— This paper introduces a new dc-dc converter suitable for operation at very high frequencies under on-off control. The converter power stage is based on a resonant inverter (the Φ2 inverter) providing low switch voltage stress and fast settling time.
[pdf] This article presents the first kW-Class, 3-phase GaN-based inverter. Hard-switched at 100-kHz PWM, its heart is a 6-in-1 power module with 600-V GaN power HEMTs, achieving a new efficiency of 98.5%, a more than 2% improvement.
