abstract = {In direct-current (dc) networks, dc-dc converters are used
to step up or step down dc voltages and are therefore
considered as the equivalent of the transformer in the
classical alternating-current (ac) system. This dissertation
is dedicated to the implementation of a medium-voltage
high-power dc-dc converter. After modeling the converter, a
fast current controller is demonstrated that sets a
reference current within one third of a switching period.
Moreover, a balancing control scheme is developed which
increases the utilization of the converter. To increase the
converter efficiency, an auxiliary circuit is designed for a
medium-voltage high-power application. The prototype
demonstrates a compact design and an amortization in less
than one year for a wind application. The medium-frequency
transformer is a key component in the dc-dc converter. The
high power density and the requirements on the stray
inductance make its design challenging. Therefore,
especially the core losses under the influence of power
electronics and the design of the stray inductance are
analyzed. Moreover, a 2.2 MVA transformer operated at 1 kHz
is constructed. It demonstrates a ten-fold power density
compared to a 50 Hz transformer. Finally, the dissertation
presents the construction and the setup of a high-power
medium-voltage demonstrator of the converter. The
demonstrator is rated for 5 kV dc-link voltage and a power
of 5 MW. From the commissioning, valuable experience on an
industrial construction of the converter are concluded, as
well as future research topics.},
