On-state collector-emitter voltage (VCE) is a good indicator to determine the wear-out condition of power device modules. Further, it is a one of the Temperature Sensitive Electrical Parameters (TSEPs) and thus can be used for junction temperature estimation. In this paper, the junction temperature estimation method using on-state VCE for an advanced active power cycling test is proposed. The concept...
This paper introduces a reliability-oriented design tool for a new generation of grid connected PV-inverters. The proposed design tool consists of a real field Mission Profile (MP) model (for one year operation in USA-Arizona), a PV-panel model, a grid connected PV-inverter model, an Electro-Thermal model and the lifetime model of the power semiconductor devices. A simulation model able to consider...
This paper propose a novel Electro-Thermal Model for the new generation of power electronics WBG-devices (by considering the SiC MOSFET-CMF20120D from CREE), which is able to estimate the device junction and case temperature. The Device-Model estimates the voltage drop and the switching energies by considering the device current, the off-state blocking voltage and junction temperature variation. Moreover,...
A novel position and speed estimator for single phase permanent magnet brushless d.c. (PMBLDC) motor drives, based on flux integration and prior knowledge of ΨPM (θ) is proposed here and an adequate correction algorithm is adopted in order to increase the robustness to noise and to reduce the sensitivity to accuracy of flux linkage estimation. A speed and current close loop control is employed based...
This paper presents a novel strategy for the vector control of IPMSM, without signal injection. The overall performance of the motion-sensorless control depends strongly on the accuracy of the rotor position and speed estimation. The proposed state observer is based on the concept of the ldquoactive fluxrdquo (or ldquotorque producing fluxrdquo), which ldquoturns all the salient-pole rotor ac machines...
A four state reconfigurable battery state of charge estimation algorithm combining the open circuit voltage (OCV) and its estimation and current integration is proposed in the present paper. In general, the open circuit voltage requires a few hours to become completely stabilized, when 100% confidence indicator is obtained. The proposed algorithm in its first state, works when the battery current...
