Optimal Design of passive filters for variable speed drives

This project aims to design new highly compact and highly effective filters for a multi-level power converter based on wide-bandgap (WBG) transistors that integrates an Active Front Ends on the grid-side. Leveraging the high switching speed of WBG, new light weight multi-stage filters suppressing all switching frequency are designed for both the utility and motor side. This filter should feature higher power density, higher efficiency and lower switching losses when compared to traditional LCL ones, and should be applicable in the context of a commercial motor inverter design.
