    Abstract: System and methods for power conversion are provided. Aspects include a first switching module comprising a first set of switches, wherein the first set of switches comprise wide-bandgap devices having a first bandgap, a second switching module comprising a second set of switches, wherein the second set of switches comprise semiconductor devices having a second bandgap, and wherein the first bandgap is larger than the second bandgap, an alternating current (AC) power source connected to the first switching module and the second switching module, a first capacitor bank, a second capacitor bank, and a controller configured to operate the first switching module and the second switching module to create a first direct current (DC) voltage across the first capacitor bank and a second direct current (DC) voltage across the second capacitor bank.

    Abstract: A system for cooling a power component includes a first metal layer. A cooling layer having a first surface is in contact with a surface of the first metal layer. A second metal layer is included having a surface in contact with a second surface of the cooling layer opposite the first metal layer. The cooling layer is of a material different from that of the first metal layer and that of the second metal layer. A plurality of cooling features are embedded in the material of the cooling layer. The cooling channels are spaced apart from both the first metal layer and the second metal layer by the material of the cooling layer. An electrically conductive path connects the first metal plate to the second metal plate.
