The power losses in a voltage source inverter (VSI) are the sum of the additional constant power losses of the local power supply, the inverter circuits as well as the main power conversion losses.
Table 2 presents a comparison between selected 48V to 12V bus converter topologies. The Two-Phase 12-Switch ZIV converter prototype presented achieves a power density of 2500W/in3, equaling the highest yet demonstrated for 48V to 12V conversion by the cascaded resonant converter.
To attempt to improve this, Google has proposed and implemented a 48 volt server architecture that can significantly reduce both the upstream conversion losses, and the distribution losses within the server racks.
What is a 12-switch Ziv converter?
CONCLUSIONS The 12-Switch ZIV converter offers has several key characteristics that make it an ideal solution for 48V to 12V conversion in datacenter and server power supplies.
Results The concept of using one serial equivalent resistance (that is dependent on the switching frequency and the load current and that presents all of the static and dynamic power losses of the power conversion) enables the easy calculation of the losses and the efficiency of the voltage source inverter.
Can a voltage source inverter work off-grid?
Although the presented and tested exemplary experimental model is a basic H-bridge inverter with the first modulation scheme, , the presented idea can be used for any voltage source inverter (VSI) working off-grid but the results (focusing the power conversion losses in one serial equivalent resistor) concern all types of inverters.
