A real-time prognostic tool to predict life-time of IGBT power modules in a metro application is presented. Applying conventional life models (e.g. Coffin-Manson) for real applications is infeasible because these models are only applicable to cyclic data. Use of off-line rainflow algorithm is common solution but cannot be applied in real-time in its original form. This paper presents on-line life-estimation...
Implementation of real-time health assessment and thermal management of power electronic devices require real-time electrothermal models that can be used to predict the temperatures of device junctions, interfaces, etc., which cannot ordinarily be measured during service. This paper presents a real-time reduced-order compact thermal model, which is incorporated in a pulsewidth modulation and current...
A novel double-side cooled power module is presented which delivers superior cooling performance with the potential for improved robustness to thermal cycling. The semiconductor dies are sandwiched between conventional DBC substrates, the substrates being directly cooled rather than through a conventional heat spreader heat sink assembly. A theoretical analysis is presented illustrating that direct...
