Abstract
This thesis details the schematic-level design and functional analysis of a 4-kW mono-phase AC-DC converter developed using the Flying Capacitor Multilevel (FCML) topology and enhancement-mode Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistors. Initially, the converter was developed to address all relevant high-performance applications in grid-connected power supplies such as power factor correction (PFC) systems and electric vehicle infrastructure, as well as for renewable energy conversion applications. The complete implementation of GaN-based switching devices allows for high-frequency operation, low switching loss, and improved power density compared to silicon-based devices. The structure of the converter was based on a multilevel topology, which was able to create intermediate voltage levels using two flying capacitor stages.
The multilevel structure allowed for high performance by reducing the voltage stress on switches, lowering output harmonic content, and improving EMI performance
