The 3L NPC topology is identified as the best for the rectifier stage, while the TT topology is preferred for the inverter stage due to lower conduction losses. GaN transistors are advantageous for the rectifier stage, allowing higher switching frequencies and reduced EMI filter volume, whereas SiC MOSFETs perform better for the inverter stage. The study highlights the importance of semiconductor technology and topology selection in optimizing PFC converter volume and performance.
