  abstract     = {{As DC grids become more widespread in industry, the demand for DC industry-compliant power supplies is increasing. This paper describes the design and analysis of a SiC-based Active-Front-End with a switching frequency of 100 kHz and an output power of 50 kW. The focus of this Active-Front-End is on the small input inductance (uk=0,6%), which has been deliberately reduced in order to reduce package size. For a small inductance a high switching frequency and a fast and precise current measurement are basic requirements. The increase of the switching frequency reduces the size of the whole filter.}},

  abstract     = {{Due to the increasingly widespread use of efficient power electronics, DC grids offer more and more advantages over AC grids. In the field of energy supply the use of DC technology is also growing and is state of the art in offshore, high-voltage, vehicle and data center applications. The spread of industrial open DC grids is currently starting and is completely different due to the requirements and the specifics of certain industrial applications such as conductor systems, e.g. monorail conveyer or rack feeder systems. This paper investigates multi feed in operation in industrial DC conductor systems, especially for transitions between loaded and load free conductor segments. For this purpose, a test bench consisting of two conductor segments is developed. Each segment is individually fed by an infeed converter. The transitions between segments will be analyzed regarding control behavior and stability.}},

The DC grid is a monorail conveyer system with distributed DC link capacitors and intelligent energy storages alongside the conductor. The operation of the system, using voltage droop control for proper load distribution, is investigated. The power consumption of the proposed DC grid will be compared to a conventional AC grid with identical drives. The used active infeed converter operates at 100kHz and 650V nominal DC bus voltage with a nominal power of 5kW.}},

For the demonstration of multi feed in operation two identical three-phase power factor correction (PFC) converters with different droop curve settings are utilized. The AICs are designed for a nominal power of 5 kW. A DC bus voltage range from 400 to 800 V is specified while the desired nominal DC bus voltage is 650 V. Multi feed in operation with implemented voltage droop control shows, that circulating currents between the active infeed converters occur, which cause problems due to high current peaks even on low load operation. These circulating currents are analysed.}},

The converter operates at 100 kHz and the nominal DC bus voltage is 650 V. The DC grid the AIC is designed for is a conductor system with distributed DC link capacitors and intelligent energy storages alongside the conductor. Due to the use of intelligent energy storages, which meet the energy demand when load transients occur, it is possible to optimize the AIC for a lower power to ensure maximum system efficiency. The design of the hardware and controller is described and measurements of characteristic currents and voltages, efficiency over the whole load range and controller responses on load transients are shown.}},
