Popis: This paper analyzes and proposes the use of Gallium Nitride (GaN) devices for dc-dc converter applied to the control of Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESSs). Benefits and limitations of GaN-based power converters are identified for near future HESSs. Moreover, design considerations of the power converter are analyzed, identifying the most differential characteristics. Then, the performance of the power converter is evaluated in (b) terms of power losses and volume. The assembled experimental prototype is also presented, in order to validate the theoretical analysis.
