With the electrification of society and the green transition, the need for efficient high-power electronic converters (PEC) to support the electricity demand is at an all-time high. A key enabler is the emerging medium voltage (MV) siliconcarbide (SiC) semiconductor devices, which offer improved static and dynamic performance compared to their silicon (Si)counterparts. This paper presents a thorough overview of the recent advancements within the MV SiC technology, examining both available semiconductor devices and power modules from industry and academia and directly associates them to their applicability through a comprehensive review of typical highpower electronic applications.
