Abstract: A power conversion system includes a hybrid power converter phase unit including three voltage inputs, a voltage output, a pair of outer switches between the voltage inputs and voltage output, and a pair of inner switches between the voltage inputs and the outer switches. The power conversion system includes a controller in electrical communication with the inner and outer switches. The controller is configured to selectively disable or enable the inner switches by switching the inner switches OFF or ON. A method includes selectively disabling or enabling inner switches in a hybrid power converter phase unit with a controller such that the hybrid power converter phase unit is a 3-level converter when the inner switches are ON and enabled in a 3-level mode and a 2-level converter when the inner switches are OFF and disabled in a 2-level mode.

Abstract: A system comprises a resonant coupling having a first coil and a second coil, wherein the first coil is mounted to a first body that is stationary relative to a second body that is configured to rotate relative to the first body, and wherein the second coil is mounted to the second body to rotate relative to the first coil. The first and second coils are configured so that alternating current in the first coil induces an alternating current in the second coil to transfer electrical power from the first coil to the second coil wirelessly. The first and second coils do not contact one another regardless of whether the first and second bodies rotate relative to one another.

Abstract: Embodiments have two approaches as follows: (1) Embedded PCB-based fabrication and (2) PCB assembly-based fabrication. An embedded printed circuit board (PCB) type approach involves the creation of a space of coolant direct interconnection, using immersion cooling to link on any type of power semiconductor device hot spots to convectively and evaporatively cool directly. This means fabricating PCB embedded channels, to utilize the microgap between die and PCB as the cooling channel. A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly embodiment includes a PCB having at least one heat generating component. A lid is mounted to the PCB, wherein the lid defines a cooling path therein extending in a coolant flow direction from an inlet end of the cooling path to an outlet end of the cooling path.

Abstract: Direct pin-fin cooling assemblies are disclosed for a high-power printed circuit boards (PCBs). The disclosure can solve the classical coldplate problem associated with liquid cooling of high-power PCBs namely: (1) Inhomogeneous cooling due to the calorimetric heating up of the coolant, (2) thermal interface material (TIM) related quality issues such as dry-out effects, (3) high cost due to complicated metal coldplate structure, and (4) low thermal conductivity due to multi-layer structure. This includes incorporating pin-fin direct cooling into high-power PCB structures without additional coldplate structure or TIM. In this approach, a TIM and a top plate of coldplate can be removed. Thus, the cooling performance can be improved because the thermal conductivity between a liquid coolant and a power device is increased.

Abstract: A device can include a first circuit configured to be exposed to a first environment, the first circuit comprising one or more first transfer inductors, and a second circuit isolated from the first circuit and configured to be exposed to a second environment, the second circuit comprising one or more second transfer inductors. The second environment can be a harsh environment. The first circuit and the second circuit can be wirelessly coupled via the one or more first transfer inductors and the one or more second transfer inductors to allow transfer of power and/or signals between the first circuit and the second circuit.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for cooling systems, assemblies and methods (e.g., for semiconductor devices; for refrigerant cooling; for cryogenic cooling). More particularly, the present disclosure provides for mini-channel cold plate cooling assemblies, systems and methods for semiconductor devices (e.g., wide-bandgap (WBG) power semiconductor devices), with the cooling assemblies, systems and methods utilizing three-dimensional adaptive flow-paths using bi-metal fins. The present disclosure provides for mini-channel cold plate cooling assemblies, systems and methods that may improve cooling performance and/or enable local cooling control. The present disclosure provides for bi-metal strips that operate as both the surface-temperature sensors and actuators without input energy. The bi-metal strips guide the coolant flow to a low-drag channel when the surface temperature is low, and guide the coolant flow to the near-surface channel when the surface temperature is high.
