Abstract

With low power loss and high switching capability, GaN device technology can benefit power electronics converters in a number of ways. GaN devices can substitute Si devices in a converter for improved efficiency and power density. In addition, GaN devices can simplify the converter topology, leading to lower cost and higher reliability. GaN devices can also introduce system-level benefits as a result of their fast speed and therefore better dynamics. They can also enable new applications. This chapter presents how GaN technology can benefit AC/DC converters, covering both the single-phase and three-phase cases. Associated challenges in using GaN devices and potential solutions are discussed.
