An optimized thermal management is of paramount importance when developing efficient and reliable converters for automotive applications. In this paper, we present a new approach to extract accurate compact models for fast electro-thermal simulations of IGBT modules used in hybrid electric vehicles. It is shown that the proposed methodology brings advantages in terms of increased reliability, reduction of the costs, and shortening of the design cycle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
