Accurate Temperature Estimation of SiC Power mosfets Under Extreme Operating Conditions

Abstract: Electrothermal modeling of silicon carbide (SiC) power devices is frequently performed to estimate the device temperature in operation, typically assuming a constant thermal conductivity and/or heat capacity of the SiC material. Whether and by how much the accuracy of the resulting device temperature prediction under these assumptions is compromised has not been investigated so far. Focusing on high-temperature operating conditions as found under short circuit (SC), this paper presents a comprehensive analysis… Show more

“…The inverter lifetime considering an EV powertrain has been estimated using power cycling test with a constant load or data driven load profile-based methods for maximum thermal stress analysis [12]. A constant heat generation model is developed to identify hotspot in the power module and bonding strength of the inverter [12][13][14][15][16]. Consequently, variable thermal cycling model is being to identify material degradation based on the average and maximum temperature swing.…”
