The paper deals with the comparison of power semiconductors based on Si and SiC in application of power converters for power systems. These are single-phase voltage-source bridge inverters with nominal power of 150 kVA. Power converters are designed to operate under both active power and reactive power. Mechanical design of the converters is ready for interchange the power semiconductor modules and assess the operation with both, Si and SiC technology.References
