英文摘要：

The wide-bandgap SiC is known as an ideal material for the excellent power electronic device. The distinctions of the power electronic devices based on Si and SiC materials are compared in the breakdown electric field strength, stability and switching speed. The influence of the SiC power electronic device as the power switch on the flexible AC transmission systems （FACTS）, high-voltage direct current （HVDC） technology, renewable energy technologies and micro grid technology are analyzed. The analysis shows that the SiC power electronic devices are characterized in high voltage resistance, high temperature resistance, high switching frequency, low loss and excellent dynamic performance, and have good application prospects in the higher voltage levels （higher than 3 kV） or the higher requirements for the performances of power electronic devices.
