Abstract
Maximum energy utilization and high-power density are critical to solar powered aircraft energy system. SiC devices have the advantages of high frequency and high temperature and it is very promising in the aspect of the development of high temperature and high-power density converter. This paper designed a 1.2 kW SiC based power controller using interleaved two-switch buck-boost converter, analyzed the working process of the converter, put forward small signal model and discussed three mode control strategy, and achieved smooth switching among all modes and maximum utilization of power energy. Experimental results demonstrate that the converter module has the power density of 2.4 kW/kg.
