摘 要:Abstract: This paper presents results from an on-going research project on pressure tolerant power electronics at SINTEF Energy Research, Norway. The driving force for this research is to enable power electronic components to operate in pressurized dielectric environment. The intended application is the converters for operation down to 3,000 meters ocean depth, primarily for subsea oil and gas processing. The paper focuses on the needed modifications to a general purpose gate driver for IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistors) that will give pressure tolerance. Adaptations and modifications of the individual driver components are *** results from preliminary testing are promising, which shows that the considered adaptations give feasible solutions.
